I   PLEASURE     EXCURSIONS 


FROM  DETROIT  TO  THE  SEA. 


AiiHwerft  tc.  a  few  of  t>-<^  QiieMttonH  that  are  asked  conceruliij;  them. 


Wiat  art  your  planx  for  this  ytar  f 

Arrangeiiients  have  been   made    for   three   (3)  (rrand 
plesMire  excursions,  to  leave   Detroit  July  I,   14  and  !il 
Tickets  uood  for  the  round  trip  from  Detroit  to  Portland, 
Maine,  via  (juebec.  and  return,  will  be  %&i  each,  as  in 
previous  years. 

Tbe  Konte. 

What  is  the  rout,   to  bt  follovteJ  f 

From  Detroit  over  the  Qrand  Trunk  R.  U.  to  Kingston, 
Ont.,  where  cars  m ill  be  exchanged  for  steamer  on  8t. 
Lawrence;  the  dav  will  be  spent  on  the  river,  passing 
the  Thousand  Ihhmds,  and  "shooting"  the  fuinoiis 
rapids,  arriving  the  same  evening  at  Montreal,  thence  by 
cars  io  tho  White  Mountains,  thence  to  the  sea  shore  at 
Portland.  On  the  return  trip  tiuebec  will  be  visited. 
What  u  the  length  of  the  trip  f 

The  roMfici  trip,  via  Quebec,  the  route  the  oioursion 
takes,  is  nearly  i.OOU  miles. 

Where  and  now  do  we  spend  the  first  Sunday, 

The  lirst  excursion  arrives  at  Sfontreal  Saturday  night, 
and  will  spend  Hunday  at  Montreal.  The  second  and 
third  excursions  will  leave  Detroit,  Thursday  morning  in 
each  case,  and  arrive  at  the  monntains  Saturday  morning 
and  spend  Sunday  at  the  Qlen  House.    Any  who  do  uot 


desire  to  stop  at  the  mountains  will  not  be  obliged  to  do 
so,  however, but  can  go  on  to  Portland,  arriving  thereat 
noon,  connecting  with  Boston   (lUO  miles  beyond)  the 


Why  not  stop  over  a  day  or  two  at  Toronto, Montreal 
and  Quebec  ^oinff  east. 

Because  tlie  trip  Is  planned  to  permit  of  a  quick  and 
Inexpensive  journey  to  tliose  who  do  not  want  to  stop. 
Any  who  wish  to  go  more  leisurely  can  stop  off  at  any 
point,  aud  continue  alone  and  at  their  own  plea.^ure. 

Can  I  go  to  Quebec  on  the  ivayEast. 

No.    Quebec  is  included  In  the  return  trip. 
.   How  Many  cha)iges  of  cars  will  there  be  before  reaching 
the  mountains  f 

Not  any,  unless  yon  call  the  change  from  cars  to  boat 
on  St.  Lawrence  a  change  of  cars ;  and  that  is  not  obliga- 
tory, as  the  same  cars  will  run  to  Montreal,  and  anyone 
wishing  to  do  so  can  remain  aboard,  reaching  Montreal 
earlier  than  by  steamer. 

Why  duplicate  the  scenery  by  coming  back  the  same  way  f 

That  which  is  passed  in  the  day  time  going  east  willbe 
passed  in  the  night  on  the  return  trip,  and  tiic«  veria 
Hence  the  return  trip  will  bo  practically  over  new 
ground. 

Do  you  sell  tickets  one  way  only  f  I  do  not  wish  to  re- 
turn by  the  route  indicated  r 

All  the  excursion  tickets  will  be  round-trip  tickets  and 
over  the  route  advertised  only. 

Can  I  go  withyoH  and  come  back  by  the  New  Tork  Cen- 
tral f 

No  arrangement  has  been  made  to  return  by  any  other 
route  than  the  one  described 

Does  the  excursion  route  include  Niagara  Falls  t 

On  the  return  trip,  tickets  will  be  for  sale  at  Toronto  for 
a  round  trip  across  Lake  Ontario  to  Niagara  Falls,  for 
$2.00. 

How  far  is  it  from  Toronto  to  Niagara  t 

About  BO  miles.  Tho  trip  across  Lake  Ontario  is  a 
short  one,  and  the  ride  a  pleasant  contrast  to  railroad 
travel. 

Can  I  Join  the  excursion  at  Port  Huron  or  any  other  place 


on  the  route,  or  must  1  come  to  I'etroil,  and  start  with  tk* 
others  t 

Vou  can  Join  lis  wherever  you  desire.  The  price  will 
be  the  same  however.  The  manager  o(  the  excursion  will 
have  tlokets  for  sale  with  him  on  the  train,  and  they  can 
be  obtained  after  leaving  Detniit. 

At  the  White  Mountaina. 

Can  I  not  see  the  mountains  well  enough  by  simply  pass- 
ing by  them  on  the  railway  f 

Yes,  but  In  about  tliesahie  way  that  one  could  witnoM 
an  entertainment  by  looking  at  the  outside  of  an  opera 
house.  The  finest  views  of  the  entire  trip  are  there,  and 
can  only  be  secured  by  penetrsting  into  the;  heart  of  the 
mountains  and  making  the  ascension  of  Mt  Washington. 

What  amount  extra  wHl  the  trip  to  the  summit  of  Mi. 
Washington  cost  me  f       ' 

A  couiiou-tlckit  good  by  carriage,  miles  from  Oorham 
(on  the  O.  T.  K.  U.Vto  the  Glen  House,  thence  H  m^es  by 
carriage  to  Glen  Kills  and  Crystal  Uttscade  Falls  and 
Emerald  Pool,  thence  8  miles  to  the  summit  of  Mt.  Wash- 
ington (Including  also  the  W)  cents  toll  on  tho  carriage 
road),  thence  H  miles  back  down  the  mountain  tothoUlen 
Hcmse.  tht^nce  H  iiilies  back  to  thi^  railroad  station  at 
Oorhnm,  may  be  purchased  for  $.'i.  This  rate  is  just  one 
liulf  the  usual  price,  and  as  this  part  of  the  route  is  the 
finest  single  portion  of  the  excursion.  It  will  net  pay  to 
go  by  the  mountains  without  seeing  them. 

When  and  of  whom  shall  /purchase  the  White  Mountaint 
ticket  r 

Send  for  it  when  purchasing  your  general  ticket.  Those 
who  neglect  to  do  so  caii  procure  them  of  the  manager 
aft<!r  starting  on  the  train. 

Will  not  so  much  carriage  riding  be  fatiguing  f 

No ,  for  It  is  not  all  taken  at  one  time.  Wijcn  tho  train 
arrives  at  Oorham,  the  carriages  will  take  the  party  to  tho 
Glen  House,  where  any  and  all  can  remain  as  long  as  they 
wish,  before  undertaking  the  rest.  The  following  day  the 
carriage  ride  to  Glen  Kills  will  be  found  to  be  a  most  de- 
;ightlul  trip  onlv  excelled  by  the  ascension  of  Mt.  Wash- 
ii'gtou,  which  sfiould  be  reserved  till  the  day  following. 
TI.en,  after  a  night's  rest  at  the  Glen,  the  ride  back  to  the 
rail.'oad  at  Oorham  will  be  found  most  refreshing  lu  the 
cleai,  exhilarating  mountain  air.  Then'  is  no  other  way 
that,  l>^'  a  moment,  compares  svith  this  way  of  "doiug'' 
tiie  Mountains. 

Do  I  need  to  take  a  shawl  or  overcoat  f 

Yos.  for  the  ascension  of  Mt.  Washington,  though  if  one 
does  not  wish  to  carry  heavy  wraps,  tliey  can  be  rented 
of  the  porter  at  the  Glen  House.  Every  lady,  however, 
will  need  an  extra  wrap  to  use  during  the  Journey. 

I  wish  to  go  direct  to  Portland  without  stopping  at  tht 
Mountains.     Can  I  do  so,  or  am  /oBMOEU  to  stop  over  f 

All  are  expected  to  stop  and  see  the  mountains,  whicU 
is  the  most  clellghtful  part  of  the  trip,  but  no  one  Is  '-oblig- 
ed" to  do  BO. 

Will  a  bona  fide  exhibition  of  fireworks  be  given  on  tht 
summit  of  Mt.  Washitufton,  July  4th  t 

Tho  Urst  excursion  will  arrive  at  the  White  Mountains 
on  July  4th.  If  the  weather  permits,  a  IcKJU  collection  of 
fireworks  will  be  exhibited  that  evening  from  the  summit 
of  Mt.  Washington.  These  fireworks  nave  been  donated 
by  Messrs.  Thorpe,  Uawley  &  Co.,  of  Detroit,  and  will 
consist  of  the  largest  sized  rockets  and  other  pieces  tbat 
can  be  seen  to  advantage  at  a  distance.

Wkat  sleefing  car  ii,i\)mmodalions  can  be  relied  upon  t 
A  train  of  five  Pullman  curs  will  be  chartered  for  each 
trip,  and  berths  lurgi'  enough  lor  two  persons  will  be  sold 
from  Detroit  to  the  White  Mountains  tor  $0.     The  price 
for  the  same  to  persons  travelling  by  any  of  the  regular 
trains  will  be  l.'i.iit).     The  berths  011  the  excursion  trains 
can  be  secured  in  advance  by  remitting  to  the  manager 
of  the  excursion.      Those  on  regular  trains  only  as  per 
usual  ordlnurj-  travel. 
Do  you  adz'ise  erery  one  to  lake  sleeping  cars  t 
1  do  indeed.    It  will  hardly  be  true  economy  to  attempt 
a  two  days'  trip,  unrelieved  by  the  rest  and  comfort  to  be 
found  in  the  superb  Pullmans. 

If  I  write  and  engage  a  berth,  will  you  restn'e  tl  t 
Berths  « 111  be  reserved  in  the  order  of  opplieatton. 
Bad  only  where  the  whole  amount  is  sent  with  th?  appli- 
cation, tile  same  to  bo  forfeited  in  case  ttie  berths  'ire  not 
taken. 

Jfow  can  I  be  sure  to  secure  a  berth  t 
By  engaging  it  at  least  three  or  four  days  in  advance  01 
your  excursion.    W'lien  all  the  sections  have  been  sold, 
applicants  will  be  requested  to  wait  until  the  next  regular 
train,  ard  go  alone,  as  in  ordinary  travel. 

Jf  /purchase  a  berti  for  Ike  first  excursion,  and  then  de- 
termine toga  fuly  14th  or  3jst,miH  I  have  to  lose  vihc,  I 
have  paid  f 

As  each  train  of  Pullmans  has  to  be  chartered  and  paid 
for,  whether  used  or  not,  exchanges  in  sleeping-car 
bertha  cannot  be  made. 

What  will  be  Ike  least  tkal  I  will  Move  to  pay  for  sleeping 
car  accommodations  f 

Six  dollars  each  for  the  entire  round  trip,  provided  yon 
have  a  traveling  companion.  Bertha  will  be  sold  In  ad- 
vance only  to  the  mountains,  as  previously  dcacrlbed. 
Each  will  purchase  his  or  her  own  in  returning. 


Stopping  Off. 

Van  I  ftrp  over  at  any  fluce  nn  Ike  route,  and  then  e«m- 
tinue  Ike  Irif*  by  myself  on  any  regular  Irain  ' 

Certainly.    The'  tickets  are  good  on  all  reuuiar  trains.

Not  unless  you  wish  to  Instead  of  going  north  from 
KIchmoiul  Junction  to  linebec,  you  can  go  west  to  Mon-

that  you  hnve  paid  for. 

Traveling  Alone. 

As  lam  asingle  lady  and  will  be  traveling  alone,  vnti 
Ikere  be  any  way  of  finding  some  congenial  companion  t 

Tea ;  without  doubt  One  of  the  pleasant  features  of 
the  excursion  is  that  no  many  piensniit  a<'(|i>alntnn<'(m  are 
formed,  and  ladles  sturtlng  alone  giMiernlly  Hiid  some 
pleasant  lady  associate  before  the  end  of  the  second  day. 

It  Ikere  any  advantage  in  two  persons  traveling  to- 
gether r 

There  is,  In  many  ways  that  will  iinturally  suggest  them- 
aelvra  to  the  mind :  one  of  them  Is  reduction  in  exuenta 
of  aleepiug  cars.  Two  perwjns  can  occupy  a  berth  and 
divide  the  ex 


[cars,

f-wfsk  to  use  my  baggage  in  Montreal.     Horu  then  f 

Oheck  it  to  Sfontreal,  but  at  Sarnla  it  will  have  to  be 
opened  and  examined;  also  at  Island  Pond,  Vermont, 
when  you  again  cross  the  border  when  leaving  Canada. 
It  would  bcless  tniuble  to  check  trunks  through  to  Qor-

TIIK  KIRST  DAY. 
The  roul«  from  Detroit  to  Port  Huron 
runs  tlirouuh  a  fanning  region  that  is  plen- 
tifully sujiplled  with  small  villages,  ii.s  may 
be  seen  by  consulting  tliri  large  map  in  the 
front  of  this  guide. 

PORT    HURON 

Is  a  city  of  10,000  population  settled  in  1819, 
and  incorporated  in  18.')7.  It  is  situated  on 
the  west  bank  of  St  Clair  river.  Two  miles 
beyond  is  the  little  village  of 

FORT  OKATIOT, 

So  styled  from  the  military  post  at  one 
time  established  there  This  is  the  termi- 
nation of  the  rnnte  in  Michigan,  and  the 
cars  will  be  transferred  by  an  iron  ferrv 
staamer  across  the  river,  which  at  this 
point  is  very  narrow  and  deep.    The 

8T    CLAIR   RIVER 

Is  40  miles  long  and  half  mile  wide,  and  is 
a  strati  connecting  Lake  Huron  (250  miles 
long  by  UW  miles  wide,  having  an  area  of 
21,000  square  mites,  arxd  an  average  depth 
of  000  feet)  with  Lake  St  Clair  (30  miles 
long  by  12  miles  wide,  with  an  area  of  860 
square  miles). 


At  the  tiead  of  the  riverand  within  sight 
of  the  crossing,  stands  a  line  U.  .S  Light 
f  louse. 

The  national  boundary,  in  the  middle  of 
the  river  will  not  be  found  an  impediment 
to 

K<UIKI(»N  TRAVKL. 

A  Canadian  offlidal  will  pass  through  the 
train  while  crossing,  to  examine  hand  bag- 
gage He  generally  glances  at  the  contents 
without  touching  ti.em,  and  after  asking 
diiect:  "Have  you  any  dutiable  goods?"  and 
being  assured  that  the  bag  contains  only 
your  necessary  traveling  outfit,  he  passeB 
quietly  on  to  the  next.    Tlie 

I'.'tOVIN<;K    OK   ONTARIO, 

Now  entered  for  the  llrst  time,is  opo  of  the 
Canadian  provinces,  formerly  known  as 
I'ppei  (Canada  or  Caiieda  West.  It  has  an 
area  of  107,780  square  miles,  and  a  popula- 
tion (ccnsiiHof  1871, )or  Miao.s.W  or  consider- 
ably more  than  the  Slate  of  Michigan.  On- 
tario belonged  to  the  French  from  early  in 
the  17th  century  until  17«.').  when  it  passed 
into  the  hantlH  of  the  English,  Its  present 
provincial  status  dates  from  1807. 

AT  POINT   KI>WAHO, 

Which  is  two  miles  below  Port  Sarnia, 
and  has  a  population  of  1,000,  and  is  108 
miles  west  of  Tonmto,  the  train  will  take 
the  O.T.R.11.  track  and  run  half  a  mile  from 
the  ferry  slip  to  the  depot  where  Canadian 
officials  will  examine  baggage  Trunks 
that  have  been  checked  from  Detroit  to 
(jrorham,  N.  H.,  or  to  Portland,  will  not  be 
molested.  Baggage  that  is  checked  to  an/ 
place  m  Canada,  however,  will  be  removed 
from  the  baggage  car,  and  will  not  be  re- 
placed until  after  ,!ie  owner  has  unlocked 
It,  and  allowed  an  examination.  Tiie  train 
will  now  run  on  Toronto  time  (U  minutes 
faster  than  Detroit  time)  until  it  arrives  at 
Toronto.

THE  FIB8T  EXCURSION. 


Between  Point  Edwards  and  Stratford, 
where  the  excursion  will  dine  at  a))out  2 
o'clock,  there  are  a  nuniber  of  small  tov  is 
wliich  are  sufficiently  described  for  the 
purposes  of  this  book  by  their  names  on 
the  map  The  gtntlemen  are  respectfully 
requested  not  to  perpetrate  any  puns  or 
I'ickwickiitn  quotations  v«iiile  paasing  the 
town  of  Widder. 

8THATFORD 

Has  a  population  of  ^  500,  and  is  situated  on 
the  Avon  river,  88  miles  west  of  Toronto. 
A  branch  of  the  Grand  Trunk  R.  11.  crosses 
the  main  line  at  Stratford,  connecting 
Goderich  on  Lake  Huron  with  Buffalo. 

Jiast  of  Stratford  the  internr.ediale  places 
before  arriving  at  Toronto  will  not  require 
separate  mention,  with  the  exception,  per- 
haps of 

GTIELPII, 

A  line  nwnufacturing  town  of  6,878  popula- 
tion on  the  river  Speed.  A  fall  in  the  river 
of  30  feet  gives  excellent  water  power,  and 
is  the  secret  of  the  appearance  ct  thrift 
throughout  the  town. 

TORONTO 

Will  be  visited  on  the  return  trip;  when 
time  will  be  given  for  stopping  over,  and 
making  a  thorough  inspection  of  this  line 
city  "Toronto'' and  "supper"  will  be  synon- 
ymous tern. 8,  until— aftor  supper.  This 
can  be  secured  on  the  arrival  ol^  the  train 
at  C  p.  M.  Toronto  was  founded  by  Gover- 
nor Simcoe,  in  17  a,  and  was  capital  of  Up- 
per Canada  till  1841.  Everything  in  it  of 
importance,  however,  besides  the  name, 
which  at  that  time  was  "York,"wa8  burned 
by  United  States  troops  in  1813.  Its 
present  population  is  about  70,000,  and  it 
ranks  second  in  Canada  in  commercial  im- 
portance. 

MAKING    A  NIGHT  OF  IT. 

The  seven  hours'  night  ride  of  101  miles 
from  Toronto  to  Kingston  will  be  spent  in 
the  traveler's  'home  —a  Pullman  sleeper 
—  in  faithful  imitation  of  the  historieal 
seven  The  scenery  that  is  lost  during  the 
night  will  he  found  again,  when  on  the  re- 
turn trip,  this  part  of  the  route  will  be 
passed  in  the  daytime. 

THE    SECOND    DAY,     JULY     2D. 

Kingston  is  reached  at  about  4  a.  m.,  and 
the  sleeping  ciirs  will  be  backed  down  a  side 
track  to  the  dock  where  the  steamer  from 
Toronto  will  be  found  waiting  to  take  the 
excursion  aboard,  liefore  resuming  her 
course  down  the  St.  Lawrence  Hiver,  about 
6  o'clock.  As  the  siime  sleeping  cars  will  be 
reeumed  on  leaving  Montreal,  those  who 
desire  can  leave  hand  baggage  in  care  of 
the  porter ;  taking  wraps  to  u.ie  on  the  river, 
however.    The  city  of 

KINGSTON, 

Which  has  a  population  of  16,000,  was 
founded  n  1672,  by  Governor  DeCourcelles, 
receiving  the  name  of  Fort  Cataraqui. 
Later,  a  massive  stone  fort  was  built  b> 
Count  De  Frontenac,  and  received  his 
name.  In  1762  the  place  was  titken  by  the 
British,  who  gave  it  its  present  name.    As 


a  place  of  defense  it  stmds  next  in  strength 
to  Quebec.  The  batteries  of  Fort  Henry 
are  calculated  tor  the  reception  of  numer- 
ous cannon  und  mortars  of  the  largest 
calibre.  These,  together  with  neighboring 
m  artel  lo  towers,  form  a  formidable  and 
efficient  defense  against  any  aggressive 
movement  which  migtitbe  directed  ngainst 
the  city. 

These  fortifications  are  seen  to  excellent 
advantage  from  the  stean^er  soon  after  it 
leaves  the  dock.  The  steamer  which  will 
be  taken  belongs  to  the  Richelieu  and  On- 
tario Navigation  Co. 

Breakfast  and  dinner  will  be  served  on 
board  the  steamer,  tickets  for  which  can  be 
secured  at  the  office  of  the  purser  on  the 
lower  deck  for  50  cents  each. 

a  day  on  THE  ST.  LAAVSENCE. 

The  day  will  be  spent  on  the  river,  pass- 
ing through  the  Tho-'sand  Islands  and 
famou.-  Rapids,  arriving  at  Montreal  at  7  P. 
M.  Saturday  afternoon. 

ON   ARKIVING 

At  Montreal  the  steamer  will  enter  the  lock 
at  the  mouth  of  the  Lachine  Canal,  and  the 
gates  being  closed  and  the  water  let  in  un- 
derneath the  steamer,  the  deck  of  the 
steamer  will  soon  rise  to  a  level  with  the 
dock.  A  mob  of  hackmen  will  do  the  hon- 
ors of  your  reception,  and  in  the  absence  of 
pufflcient  police  regulation  the  tourist  is 
compelled  to  make  quick  and  arbitrary  ss- 
lectioi)  of  the  hack  or  carriage  de&ired.  The 
ha^-k  fare  will  be  twenty-five  cents. 

SUNDAY,  JULY  3D,  AT  MONTREAL. 

Owing  to  the  probable  diversity  of  opin- 
ion as  to  the  length  of  time  that  it  would 
be  desirable  to  spend  at  Montreal,  <t  has 
seemed  best  to  stop  over  going  east  only 
one  day  (Sunday),  reserving  the  leisurely 
inspection  of  the  city  for  the  return  trip. 

The  train  will  be  "again  taken  at  9:45  p. 
M.,  July  3.  The  name  sleeping  cars  that 
were  vacated  at  Kingston, Saturday  morning 
will  be  in  waiting,  so  that  each  one  will  be 
able  to  re-occupy  the  berth  previously  used. 
Watches  will  be  turned  ahead  again,  for 
Montreal  time  is  38  minutes  faster  than  De- 
troit, and  2Z^  minutes  faster  than  Toronto 
time 

CROSSING    Tht    LINE. 

The  train  will  arrive  at  Island  Pond,  Ver- 
mont between  five  and  six  o'clock  the  morn- 
ing of  July  4th.  At  this  place  all  baggage 
checked  from  any  point  in  Canada  will  be 
opened  and  examined  by  U  S.  custom  house 
officers.  An  excellent  break  ist  is  served 
at  the  Island  Pond  House,  near  and  over- 
looking the  station 

MOUNTAIN    VIEAVS. 

The  first  of  the  mountain  vie  .s  are  ob- 
taineu  here.  As  the  excursion  will  not 
reach  the  Glen  House  until  after  10  A.  m., 
hU  should  secure  breakfast  at  Island  Pond. 
From  this  point  on,  the  scenery  will  be 
found  constantly  increasing  in  interest,  and 
will  command  attention  from  the  car  win- 
dov/n-

TI.E  STRATFOilD  I'KAKS 

are  twin  peaks  to  the  left  of  the  train,  :',fter 
passing  Groveton  Junction,  that  attract 
attention  as  tliey  form  a  fancied  statuesque 
appearance, 

'  An  extra  coupon  ticket  for  the  staging  in 
the  mountains  will  be  for  sale  for  185.00 
and  can  be  procured  only  from  the  mana- 
ger of  this  excursion,— The  same  service  to 
those  traveling  without  these  tickets  is 
double  this  amount. 

On  alighting  at  Gorham,  stages  for  the 
Glen  House  will  be  in  waiting,and  tlje  cool 
mountain  air  will  be  found  most  enjoyable. 

GORIIAM, 

Which  is  772  miles  from  Detroit  by  the 
route  traveled,  '208  miles  from  Montreal, 
and  91  miles  from  Portland  is  a  place  of 
about  1,000  permanent  population,  on  the 
Androscogfjin  river.  In  the  summer 
months,  however,  the  tourists  gather  here 
from  every  point  of  the  compass,  and  the 
place  is  lively  and  interesting.  Its 
prox'mity  to  the  mountains  forms  its  sole 
attraction,  although  Mt.  Washington  can- 
not be  seen  until  the  party  arrives  at  or 
near  the  Glen  House.  The  largs  hotel  at 
the  left  is  the  Alpine  House,  owned  by  W. 
&  0.  R.  Milliken,  the  proprietors  of  the 
Glen  House,  which  is  eight  miles  away  up 
in  the  mountains  Here  the  cars  are  ex- 
changed for  coaches,  and  the  railroad  for 
the  mountain  road  which  follows  up  the 
banks  of  the 

PEABODY  RIVER 

To  the  Glen.  The  road  from  Gorham  to 
the  Glen  crosses  and  recrosses  this  little 
river,  which,  after  heavy  rains  or  in  the 
spring,  'vhen  the  snow  melts  on  the  moun- 
tains, is  \  noisy,  rushing  mountain  torrent. 
The  rivei  is  filled  a;!d  environed  with  huge 
masses  oi  'ocks.  with  which  nature  has 
produced  many  picturesque  effects 


THE  GLEN  HOUSE 

Is  situated  at  the  immediate  base  of  the 
Mt. Washington  (or  Presidential)  range,  and 
the  view  from  the  piazza  of  the  hotel  is  one 


of  the  f  nest  in  the  mountains.  The  sharp 
pointed  peak  directly  in  front  of  the  hotel 
is  Mt.  i^  aams,  ,5,794  feet  high— to  the  left  is 
what  appears  to  be  a  triple-pointed  moun- 
tain, but  which  in  reality,  consists  of  three 
peaks,  the  (Irst  being  Mt.  Jefferson,  5,714 
feet  high,  next  Mt.Clay,  5..552  feet  high, and 
farthest  to  the  left  is  Mt.  Wasliington, 
which  although  apparently  a  lesser  peak,i8 
really  0,293  feet  high,  being  the  loftiest  of 
them  all.  The  distance  to  the  sumir-lt  of 
Mt.  AVashington  from  the  Glen  Houst  is 
eight  miles,  ana  the  carriage  road  lies  o\  er 
Mts.  Jefferson  and  Clay.  The  summits  cf 
these  peaks  are  fre<iuently 

CAPPED  IN  THE  CLO  JDS, 

Which  gives  a  better  idea  of  the  heigh  1, 
than  any  guide  book  statistics  can  possibly 
do.  The  Glen  House  is  most  favorably  lo- 
cated of  all  the  hotels  in  the  mountains  to 
obtain  views  of  this  range— the  house  itself 
is  one  of  the  largest  in  the  United  States, 
is  lighted  with  gas,  and  has  every  modern 
improvement.  The  proprietors,  Messrs. 
W  &  C.  R.  Milliken,  are  thorough  hotel 
men,  and  their  success  is  the  best  evidence 
that  they  thoioughly  underfctand  how  to 
cater  to  the  wants  of  the  traveling  public. 
The  excursion  party  will  spend  two  or 
more  days  at  theGlenHouse,which  will  give 
ample  time  to  ascend  Mt.Washington,  visit 

GLHN  ELLIS 

And  Crystal  Cascade  Falls,  with  a  margin 
left  for  fishing  for  brook  trout  in  the  Pea- 
body  river,  or  strolling  ad  libitum.  While 
the  excursionists  are  visiting  these  falls. 
Monday  afternoon  July  4th  (the  advised 
plan)  the  manager  of  the  excursion  will 
take  his  $500  collection  of 

FIRE  WORKS, 

And  make  the  ascension  of  Mt.  Washing- 
ton, leaving  the  party  at  the  Glen  House 
at  the   base.   That   evening,   provided  of 

course  the  sum- 
mit is  not  envel- 
oped in  clouds, 
the  fire  works 
will  be  burned  <o 
the  delectation  of 
distant  observ- 
ers. Not  the  least 
of  the  attractions 
at  theGlenllouse 
is  the  table,  at 
which  the  tourist 
is  gen  erall  v  a 
most  devoted  and 
appreciative  at- 
tendant. The 
fare  is  unexcelled 
and  the  service 
is  a  novelty  in 
diningroom  man- 
agement, for  the 
waiters  are  all 
college  students 
who  spend  their 
vacations  in  re- 
cuperating at  the  mountains  aiid  at  the 
same  time  replenishing  their  depleted 
purses

THE  FIRST  SXOORSION. 


THE  ASCENSION 

Of  Mt.  Wiishinjfton  on  the  forenoon  of 
Tuesday  July  5th  will  be  la  ereme  de  la 
creme  of  the  mountain  experience.  The 
railway  and  bridle  path  run  up  from  the 
westside.but  for  beauty  and  variety  of  scen- 
ery nothinst  eloe  equals  the  carriage-road 
from  the  Glen  Having  satisfied  yourself 
by  loolcing  through  the  teliscope  at  the 
Glen  House,  that  the  speck  upon  the  dis- 
tant summit  is  the  Summit  House,  where 
you  hope  after  a  four  or  five  hours'  ride  to 
take  dinner,  it  will  behoove  you  to  put  a 
shawl  or  overcoat  under  and  yourself  upon 
the  seat  of  the  ca.a-iage  at  the  door,  and  al- 
low the  driver  lo  give  free  rein  to  liia  team 
of  six  horses. 

Whenever  eight  or  ten  wish  to  make  the 
ascension  and  apply  a*^  the  office  of  the  Glen 
House,  a  mountain  carriage  drawn  by  six 
horses  will  be  forthwith  supplied. 

RIDING  \rv  STAIRS. 

From  the  base  to  the  summit  the  grade 
Is  a  constant  ascent,  varying  from  5  to  25 
degrees,  and  for  the  first  third  of  the  dis- 
tance is  buried  in  the  dense  foliage  of  the 
forests  upon  the  lower  side.  The  sultry 
temperature  of  the  valley  below  is  ex- 
changed t'lr  th«  exhilarating  mountain  air, 
which  b«5Comes  cool  and  biac'ug.  It  is 
wholly  unlike  and  distinct  from  any  lowland 
air,  and  will  he  breathed  in  with  delight  as 
a  new  and  enjoyable  experience. 

As  you   ascend  you    will  see  that   the 
mouiitiiin  ash,  with  its  -scarlet  berries,  and 
other  small  varieties  of  trees  are    substi 
tuteb  for  the  great  forest  trees  which  were 
seian  near  the  ba,se. 

TIIK    FIRST    VIEW 

Is  a  great  satisfaction,  although  you  take  it 
by  "-jnatches,''  the  brtisli  upon  the  side  of 
the  road  being  frequently  tall  -enough  to  in- 
terrupt the  view.     Finally,  at  the 

IIALK-WAY   HOUSE 

The  prospect  suddenly  opens,  and  a  vast 

Eanorama  of  indescribable  grandeur  and 
eaity  invites  attention. 
The  vocabulary  of  exclamations  t  lat  are 
here  thrown  on  the  <vind,  is  rau^h  too 
"numerous"  for  the  limits  of  this  guide- 
book. The  accumulation  of  "Ohsl"  and 
"Ahsl'  and  the  like,  that  have  been  pre- 
pared by  constant  practice  on  the  earlier 
part  of  the  ride,  will  soon  be  expended,  and 
the  excursionist  will  sit  in  silence  before 
the  impressive  scene,  realizing;  only  the 
quick  '.'.eart-beats  and  the  inability  to  ex- 
press the  natural  eiiiotions.  It  is  only  astep, 
however. 

FROM    THE  SUBLIME  TO  THE    RIDICULOTJS, 

For,  if  you  do  as  all  your  predecessors  have 
done  and  as  strict  orthodoxy  requires,  you 
will  get  out  at  tlie  Half- Way  House  (a  little 
wood  shanty),  and  ask  the  "landlord"  (who 
cooks  for  tlie  work  men  upon  the  carriage 
road),  if  he  has  any  spruce  gum  I 

SHAWLS  AND  OVERCOATS 

Are  generally  donned  before  proceeding, 
and  found  to  be  seasonable  and  comfortable. 


Little  vegetation  is  passed  on  the  remain* 
der  of  the  ascenUexceptlng  "scrubs,"  whose 
gnarled  roots  seem  to  be  crawling  over  the 
rocks  like  so  many  snakes ;  short  evergreens 
with  their  limbs  reaching  toward  the 
south,  which  show  the  direction  and  power 
of  the  winds  in  winter;  and  lastly,  the 
mosses  and  tiny  daisies  on  the  very  sum- 
mit. 

STEPPING  HEAVENWARD. 

So  greatly  do  i,he  views  enlarge  as  y  )U 
progress,  that  you  fee!  chagrined  at  having 
exhausted  your  very  bost  remarks  on  so 
inferior  an  occasion  as  you  now  feel  the 
Half-way  House  to  have  been. 

MT.  WASHINGTON  RAILWAY. 

Try  to  get  to  t'-e  summit  by  2  p.  m..  as  at 
this  time  the  tn  .,  which  makes  two  round 
trips  a  day,  will  start  down  the  west  side. 
The  times  for  the  trains  starting  from  the 
base  are  at  10  a.  m,  and  5:15  p.  m.,  and  at  7  a. 
ri  and  2  p.  m./rom  the  summit.  This  rail- 
way ia(i%  miles  long  and  rises  over  5,000 
feel  in  making  the  ascent*  Tht  fare  is 
three  dollars  up  the  mountain,  three  dollars 
down. 

THE  SUMMIT  HOUSE 

Is  the  first  place  sought  after  arriving  at 
the  summit,  and  a  circle  with  extended 
hands  gathers  around  the  stoves,  for  the 
thermometer  will  piobably  stand  at  aboui} 
45". 

In  1877  the  record  shows  a  fluctuation  be- 
I  tween  40"  ard  60",  with  50"  as  an  average. 
Snow  fell  on  the  22d  of  June  and  3d  of 
September  of  that  year,  but  none  between. 
The  hotel  is  a  long  low  white,  frame 
building  securely  chained  to  the  rocks.  It 
contains  one  hundred  sleeping  rooms,  well 
furnished  and  warmed  by  sloam,  so  tfiat  its 
patrons  are  as  comfortable  ana  as  well 
served  as  a*  any  hotel  among  me  moun- 
tains. The  table  is  first  class,  and  Mrs.  J. 
W.  Dodge,  manager,  slates  that  no  pains 
will  be  spared  U)  make  its  patrons  feel  that 
they  can  pass  a  day  ov  a  night  aboM!  the 
cioiids  with  <is  much  comfort  as  they  can 
below. 

AMONG  THE  CLOUDS 

There  are  two  other  buildings  of  interest 
to  the  tourists  on  the  summit  of  Mt.  Wash- 
ington -the  signal  service  station  and  the 
office  of  the  only  daily  paper  ever  published 
among  'Jie  clouds.  It  \  ■  called  Among  the 
Clauds,  and  is  edited  and  printed  in  the  old 
Tip- top  Housp  (that  was  fnrmeiiy  the  on'y 
hotel  on  the  summit),  by  Henry  E.  Burt. 

ACCES,SIBLE  POINTS  «'F  INTEREST.  " 

Among  the  places  that  can  bn  reached 
from  the  summit  are  Tuckerinan's  ilavine, 
where  can  be  seen  the  Fall  of  a  Thousand 
Streams,  t!ie  Lake  of  „ae  Clouds,  the  Great 
Gulf,  Huntington  s  Ravine,  the  Alpine 
Garden  and  many  others  equally  interest- 
ing. Excursions  to  these  points  give  a  far 
better  idea  of  the  wilduess  and  vastness  of 
thia  mountain  peak  than  any  description 
can  lo.  No  one  should  attempt  to  visit 
them  without  a  competent  guide,  however.

THE  FraST  EXCURSION. 


11 


NOT  TOO  niQU  FOR  LITIGATION. 

More  than  825,000  has  been  spent  in  law- 
saits  about  the  ownership  of  the  top  of  the 
mountain,  the  contestants  bein^'  a  Mr.  Bel- 
lows, of  Exeter,  and  Coe  &  Pingree,  of  Sa- 
lem and  Bangor.  The  latter  flnal'y  com- 
promised by  purchasing  Bellows'  claims. 

THE  GENERAL   VIEW 

Has  jjistly  been  called  "an  epic  landscape." 
The  English  Alpestriau,  Latrobe,  said  that 
it  was  magnificent,  but  gloomy.  The  view- 
line  sweeps  around  a  circumference  of 
nearly  1,000  miles,  embracing  parts  of  five 
States  and  the  Province  of  Quebec.  With- 
in the  vast  circle  are  seen  scores  of  villages 
and  hamlets  and  hundreds  of  mountains, 
together  with  the  widening  valleys  of 
the  chief   riverj  of  New  England. 

THE  CLOUD  8CBNES. 

It  would  be  a  misfortune  indeed  not  to 
witness  the  wonderful  transformntions  of 
clouds  that  are  often  spread  out  beneath 
the  level  of  the  summit,  in  the  most  active 
and  "oeautiful  of  panoramas.  The  writer 
once  witnessed  a  thunder-storm  over  the 
valley  southeast  of  the  summit,  when  the 
tops  of  the  clouds  were  lower  than  the 
rocks  from  which  it  was  viewed. 

THE  DESCENT 

Is  made  in  one-quarter  of  the  time  it  takes 
to  make  the  ascent,  the  eight  miles  from 
the  Summit  Eouse  to  the  Glen  House  be- 
ing frequently  made  in  less  than  one  hour. 

DISBANDING. 

The  evening  of  July  5  will  be  spent  at  the 
Glen  House  parlors.  The  regular  rate  of 
board  at  the  Glen  House  is  $4.50  per  day, 
but  to  members  of  the  excursion  it  will  be 
$3  00  for  as  long  as  thoy  wish  to  remain 
From  this  time  on,  the  route  of  the  excur- 
sion will  be  followed  by  each  separately, 
and  as  each  one  shal'  select. 

LEAVING  THE  MOUNTAINS. 

It  will  be  diflicult  to  express  the  regret 
with  which  the  stages  for  Gorham  wiJl  be 
taken  on  the  morning  of  July  6lh.    Leav 
ing  Gorham,  by  Grand  Trunk  R.  R.  asain, 
the  91  miles  to  Portland  is  soon  passed. 

SIIELBURN  E 

Is  five  miies  from  Gorham.  To  the  right 
of  the  station  is  seen  the  VVinthrop 
House,  with  Mt.  Winthrop  towering  over 
it.  Granny  Starbird's  Ledge  is  passed  just 
before  reaching  the  station. 

GILEAD, 

Which  is  the  first  town  we  reach  in  the 
State  of  Maine,  is  six  miles  from  Shel- 
burne  Station.  It  is  hemmed  in  by  lofty 
mountains.  Fine  views  of  Mts.  Washing- 
ton, Adams  and  Jefferson,  may  be  had 
from  the  right. 

WEST   BETHEL 

Is  ten  miles  nearer  Portland.  When  with- 
in live  miles  of  the  station  the  train  passes 
Tumble  Down  Dick  and  crosses  Wild  River 
on  a  bridge  250  feet  !ong..  Just  before  ar- 
riving at  VVest  Bethel  the  railway  crosses 
Pleasant  Ri -er. 


BETHEI,. 

Tiie  railroad  leaves  the  Androscoggin 
river  at  this  place,  a  companionship  we 
shall  be  loth  to  abandon.  Lc^ke  Moun- 
tain lies  to  the  left  and  Sparrow  Hawk 
Mountain  on  the  right.  In  the  extreme 
right  are  the  peaks  of  Speckled  Mountain 
and  the  Sunday  River  White  Cap. 

LOCKE'S  MILLS. 

Is  the  name  of  a  station  05  miles  from  Port- 
land, located  near  South  Pond.  After 
passing  the  station  the  train  crosses  Alder 
Stream,  along  which  are  some  beautiful 
glens. 

BRYANT'S  POND, 

Which  is  700  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea, 
lies  near  the  ba^e  of  Mt.  Christopher.  It 
boasts,  also,  of  a  water  vie'v,  i  o.,  the  pond 
from  which  it  is  named 

WEST  PARIS 

Is  55  miles  or  about  two  hours  from  Pert- 
land.  To  the  left  the  town  of  Paris  may 
be  iieen  on  the  side  of  the  distant  hills. 
Just  before  reaching  the  station,  the  rail- 
road goes  down  a  steep  grade  of  60  feet  to 
the  mile.  The  n^x^  niae  stations  are  of  no 
special  importance  to  the  tourist,  and  will 
be  omitted  from  this  description. 

FALMOUTH 

Is  within  flvo  miles  of  Portland,  near  Casco 
Bay,  which  may  be  seen  on  the  left.  Tlje 
salt  breezes  will  b*  more  "visible,"  how- 
ever, than  the  salt  water.  Just  beyond 
Falmouth  the  train  crosses  the  Presump- 
Hcott  River  on  a  bridge  .SOO  feet  long. 
Passing  through  the  town  of  Westbrook, 
the  railroad  crosses  Back  Cove  and  Mun- 
joy  Hill,  and  arrives  at 

PORTLAND, 

Where  connection  can  be  made  at  once, 
if  desired,  with  the  Beach  or  with  Boston. 
For  full  information  and  advice  as  to 
where  to  spend  your  time  from  this  time 
or  until  you  are  ready  to  return,  see  the 
classified  list  of  summer  resorts  at  the 
back  of  lliis  guide. 

SOUVENIRS  (,y  THE  SEA-SHORE 

can  be  found  in  a  stroll  along  nearly  any 
one  of  the  beaches,wherever  there  are  sharp 
edged  rocks  to  catch  and  retain  them  from 
the  ebbing  tide.  There  are  not  many 
handsome  shells  to  be  gathered  on  the 
coast  of  the  Nortlu^rn  Athinlicbut  different 
varieties  of  star  fish  and  horse-s!)oe  crabs, 
etc ,  are  often  seen  strewn  along  the  beach, 
and  these  v/hen  dead  are  so  hard  and  dry, 
that  they  areas  easily  carried  as  a  shell.  If 
they  are  alive  when  found,  they  will  die  at 
once,  on  i)eing  put  into  fresh  water.  In 
some  plitr-is  along  the  coast  great  quantities 
of  beautiful  algae,  or  sea-mo.sa  are  found :  in 
othei  places  only  an  o(!casional  fragment 
is  swept  in  by  the  waves  Look  for  sea- 
moss  amcmg  the  rocks,  or  else  gather  the 
loose  and  floating  fragments  while  bathing. 
Anv  one  wishing  to  preser'  e  this  can  ea- 
sily do  so  by  preparing  som  •  cards  of  bristol- 
Ijoard,  of  any  size  required,  selecting  some 
fragments  of  liie  moss, (the  fine  sprays  are

better  than  the  coarse)  and,  placing  one  in  ! 
a  bowl  of  water,  let  it  float  out  in  its  natu- 
ral 8i;ape ;  then  dip  a  card  under  it  and  be- 
fore lifting  it  out  of  the  water,  take  a  pin 
and  caretiuly  push  each  little  spray  where  j 
yo  1  want  it  to  lie;  then  lift  the  card  care-  j 
fullv  out  of  the  watci   \nd  place  it  on  some 
flat 'surface  where  it  will  dry.    The  moss  | 
is  gluey  enough  to  adhere  to  the  card,  and  i 
an  alburn  of  such  specimens  is  as  pretty  as  ■ 
a  collection  of  little  water-color  paintings, 
from  which    one  can    hardly   distinguish 
them.    The  representation  of  sea-moss  on 
the  cover  of  this  guide  book  is  but  slightly 
over   colored,   and    represents    a  few  of  i 
the  many  forms  in  which  it  is  to  be  found,  i 

SUKF-BATHINO, 

Like  the  motion  to  adjourn,  is  always  in  or- , 
der,  but  will  be  most  enjoyed  two  or  three 
hours  before  sunset.  ^  ; 

"Two  are  company,  but  three  are  none," 
may  qualify  the  enjoyment  of  strolling  on 
the  beach  in  the  moruing  when  Borneo  and 
Juliet  desire  to  see  what  mosses,  star  or  | 
jelly  tish  the  ebbing  tide  has  left  stranded  i 
on  the  sand,  but  "two"  are  not  "company"  I 
while  bathing  in  the  surf  by  any  manner 
of  means.    Fifty  are  few  enough,  biit  one  j 
hundred  are  better.  ! 

When  the  declining  sun  crowds  the  beach  i 
with  promenaders,  then  it  is  that  the  moat  1 
bashful  and  diffident  of  the  ladies  of  the 

Earty  will  emerge  from  the  little  bathing  \ 
ouses,  in  a  costume  that  would  create  a  I 
positive  sensation  in  the  hotel  parlor,  and  ] 
striding   through    the  ranks  of   admirinc  | 
spectators  with  a  reckless  abandon,  wade  j 
boldly  out  into  the  surf.    Suffer  a  sugges- i 
tion.    Let  from  two  to  ten  take  hold   of  I 
hands  in  the  water  "middle  deep,"  facing 
the  audience  and  with  backs  to  the  sea. 
The  first  wave  thatroUs  in  simply  buoys, 
but  is  not  large  enoagh   to   break.    The 
second.  mayhap,i3  larger  and  lifts  tlfl  bath- 
ers from  their  feet;  but  save  breath  for  the 
traditional  "seventh  wave:"  the  result  of 
this   encounter  will  be  generally  thought 
to  be  too  ludicrous  to  be  seriously  described. 

YACHTING  AND  FISHING 

Yacht  riding  and  fishing  will  be  found  to 
be  amont'the  most  enjoyable  treats  at  the 
seashon  he  modus  operandi  is  as  follows: 
Let  eiglit  or  ten  make  up  a  yacht  party  and 
engage  any  one  of  the  dozen  or  more  yacht 
proprietors  who  will  be  found  lying  on  the 


sand  of  any  of  the  beaches.  The  bargain 
should  cover  use  of  fishing  tackle  and 
transportation  from  dry  land  back  to  dry 
land,  and  for  the  time  Intervening,  at  so 
Txiucii  an  hour. 

The  second  part  consists  in  the  before- 
mentioned  proprietor  rolling  up  his  pants 
and  otherwise  preparing  to  carry  the  gen- 
tlemen on  his  back  and  the  ladies  in  his 
arms  to  the  small  boat,  which  he  will 
afterwards  push  through  the  surf  to  the 
yacht,  which  is  Iving  at  anchor  out  in  deep- 
er water.  The  yacht  will  skim  out  to  sea, 
to  locations  the  skipper  will  recognize  as 
favorable  •  jr  fishing,  wher»^  anchor  will 
be  oast  &nd  fishing  by  drop-line,  over  the 
side  of  the  boat,  will  be  found  interesting 
and  of  tentimes  an  exciting  sport.  There- 
turn  trip  simply  revnrsea  the  order,  and  is 
more  conducive  to  hilarity  than  decorum. 
A.  clam  bake,  is  another  thing  that  visitors 
to  the  sea-side  should  always  participate 
in.  As  this  is  an  institution  those  living  far 
inland  can  never  enjoy  at  home,  it  wiU  be 
something  to  enjoy  en  passant,  and  some- 
thing to  remember.  The  proprietors  of 
any  of  the  sea-side  hotels  will  arrange  a 
clam  bake  upon  application,  at  prices  de- 
pending upon  the  number  participating. 

THE  RETURN  TRIP. 

The  route  from  Portland  to  Quebec  lies

THE  THIRD  EXCURSION. 


N  Thursday,  July  2l8t,  rhe  third 

of  the  1881  excursions,  will  leave 

Detroit  by  special  train  at  9  A.  m 

The  route  over  the  Grand  Trunk 

R  R.    is  fu'ly  described  in  the

as  second  excursion.    Tickets  that

A  TWO  WEEKS  TRIP.' 


JOURNEY  from  Detroit  to  the 
Sea,  or  a  Vacation  in  the  White 
Mountains,  as  per  advertisement 
„  and  guide  book  in  detail,  was  a 
tempting  bait  to  a  person  of  limited 
means  but  high  aspirations.  And 
so  it  came  to  pass  that  that  person 
was  found  among  the  excursionists 
that  set  their  faces  eastward  on  a 
Grand  Trunk  R.  R.  train  on  the  7th  day  of 
July  in  the  year  of  our  I  ord  1879. 

The  present  intention  of  the  person 
aforesaid  is  simply  to  recall  such  little  In- 
cidents or  features  of  the  trip  as,  having 
served  to  Interest  or  amuse  the  travelers, 
may  do  th   same  service  for  others. 

THE  ROUTE  OUTLINED. 

It  m!»y  be  expedient,  however,  at  the 
start  to  briefly  outline  the  successive  steps 
of  the  journey  In  order  to  give  a  clear  Idea 
of  the  diversified  character  of  the  voute 
and  to  save  repetitions  and  expliinatlons. 
Briefly  then  as  follows:  A  ride  of  a  day 
and  a  night  on  the  Grand  Trunk  R.  R.  to 
Kingston.  Thence  by  steamer  down  the 
St.  Lawrence,  past  the  Tticasa.- 1  Islands 
•The  experience  of  a  Udy  member  of  the  Third  (1879) 


and  through  the  famous  rapids  by  daylight 
to  Montreal.  Another  night's  travel  by 
rail  to  Gorham,  N  H.  Thence  by  six-horse 
coaches  up  Into  the  mountains  Two  days 
In  the  mountains,  including  ascent  to  the 
summit  of  Mt.  Washington.  Train  to 
Portland  and  half  a  dav's  observations 
from  Its  fine  outlooks.  Thence  to  Boston. 
Two  days  in  this  city  of  historicall  and 
modern  Intellectual  associatioHS.  Pour 
hours  ride  by  rail  to  theBeach.and  two  days' 
sojourn  among  its  watery  attractions.  Back 
to  Portland  and  thence  by  the  Grand  Trunk 
R.  R.  night  cars  to  Quebec.  A  day  at  this 
quaint  old  city  Back  again  to  Montreal. 
A  day  at  that  place  and  theuce  back  to  De- 
troit—stopping over,  however,  a  day  at 
Toronto  for  a  60  mile  trip  across  lake  On- 
tario to  Niagara  Falls  and  back.  2.000  miles 
of  travel  and  sightseeing,  enough  for  half 
a  life-time,  In  12  days. 

THE  RAPIPS  OF  THE  ST.  LAWRENCE. 

The  trip  by  steamer  down  the  St.lLaw- 
rence  from  the  old  fortified  city  of  Kings- 
ton to  Montreal  was  one  of  solid  satisfac- 
tion.   The  shooting  of  the  rapids  was  ao*

naveRiiided  every  vessel  that  for  the  past 
80  years  has  ateinmed  the  current  of  the 
Lachine  rapids,  was  less  a  hero  in  personal 
appearance  and  make-up  than  imagination 
had  limned  him.  Stripped  of  his  tradition- 
al feathers,  war  paint  and  scalp  locks,  the 
"noble  red  man"  becomes  a  low-browed, 
heavy  featured,  type  of  the  jyenushomo: 
and  this  noi.  >t  Roman  of  them  all  was 
simply  a  dull,  swarthy,  uncouth  "huije  hill 
of  tlesh"  to  look  upon.  But  he  knew  his 
business;  and  he  did  it— which,  after  all, is 
the  main  thing. 

The  sky  was  lowering  as  the  Corinthian 
entered  the  Lachine  rapids.  Before  and 
around  us  was  a  seething  surging  mass  of 
waters,  whose  waves  beat  angrily  against 
the  sullen  rocks  that  bounded  the  narrow 
channel  through  which  alone  the  vessel 
had  right  of  way,  and  chanted  the  wild  re- 
frain ihat  might  easily  have  been  inter- 
preted as  the  sliri.  >f  tlie  water  wraith. 
It  was  a  scene  for  a»-  artist,  had  there  been 
one  thf^re  to  sketch  it  The  four  men  at 
the  wheel,  with  the  concentration  of  a  des- 
perate energy  written  in  their  faces  and  In 
the  tension  of  every  nerve  and  sinew  of 
athletic  bodies;  the  stolid,  passionless  face 
of  the  leader  converted  into  a  painful  in- 
tensity of  expression,  and  his  Falsiaflian 
proportions  seeming  to  grow  Herculean 
for  the  nonce;  the  vessel  struggling  with 
her  destiny  in  the  hands  of  her  masters; 
and  around  and  above  all  the  wild,  weird 
elements  of  nature.  For  a  brief  period  a 
sense  of  delicious  awe  ciept  over  the  party, 
and  the  boldest  held  his  breath  for  a  time. 

MONTUKAL. 

Art's  surprises  follow  closjly  on  Nature, 
and  as  we  near  Montreal  we  look  with 
wonder  and  admiration  on  the  stupendous 
tubular  iron  cone  that  there  spans  the 
river.  Robert  Stephenson's  crowning  work, 
the  Victoria  Bridge.  No  time  for  dallying. 
Only  a  rapid  ride  to  one  of  the  finest 
hostelries  of  the  country,  the  Windsor 
Hotel,  where  the  inner  man  is  bountifully 
supplied  with  the  best  of  viands,  and  away 
again  on  the  speeding  train,  where  a  com- 
fortable night's  rest  lits  us  for  the  next 
day's  enjoyment. 

nCTUKESQUE  8CENEUY. 

The  route  along  the  southern  branch  of 
the  Grand  Trunk  railway  as  it  crosses  the 
northeastern  part  of  Vermont  and  takes  a 
southeasterly  course  down  through  New 
Hampshire  to  the  White  Mountains,  is 
beautiful,  even  beyond  imagination— far 
beyond  description.  The  richest  of  ver 
dure,  the  fairest  of  flowers;  field,  forest 
and  lake;  sparkling  brook  and  winding 
river;  rugged  cliff  and  sloping  dnle:  and 
before  and  beyond  and  in  every  direction 
towering  up  the  eternal  bills,  presenting  to 


the  vision  constantly  changing  and  ever 
more  beautiful  aapecls  of  nature.  Of  luch 
scenery  the  eye  cculd  never  weary. 

At  (Jorham  we  leave  behind  us  the  rush 
and  bustle  and  turmoil  of  civilization — the 
shriek  of  the  locomotive,  the  clangor  of 
bells,  the  hoarse  cries  of  the  peripatetic 
vender  of  wares — all  the  sights  and  sounds 
that  have  become  a  weariness  of  spirit 
Six  horse  coaches  bear  us  onward  and  up- 
ward to  rest  and  quiet,  mimntain  breezes, 
visions  of  grandeur  and  peace  of  mind. 

A    MODEL    HOTEL 

The  Glen  IIou.se,  situated  just  at  the 
ba.se  of  what  is  known  aa  the  Presidential 
range  of  ratuintains,  is  pre-eminentlv  the 
place  for  recuperation  of  mind  and  body. 
Its  location  is  marveloiisly  well  chosen, 
commanding  some  of  the  finest  views  on 
the  mountains  In  all  departments  it  la  a 
model  hostelry  There  is  little  ostentation 
but  there  is  perfect  order  and  comfort,  and 
ttie  cooking— no  unimportant  consideration 
to  a  man  in  search  of  health— is  not  to  be 
excelled  anywhere. 

CULTtTUED    WAITERS. 

Another  pleasant  feature  of  the  dining 
room  is  the  attendance.  It  is  much  more 
agreeable  to  have  your  plate  removed  or 
your  coffee  handed  you  by  a  geiitleman 
than  by  a  flunkey  ur  a  boor.  And  the 
waiters  at  the  Glen  House  are  gentlemen, 
of  courtly  manners,  quick  intelligence, 
and  some  familiarity  with  table  etiquette 
— students,  all  of  them,from  Yale,Harv{'"d, 
Amhemt  and  other  colleges,  who  are  ad 
to  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity 
here  offered  of  recrnitlng  their  health 
and  replenishing  purses  during  t.ho 
long  summer  vacation.  The  head 
waiter  was  a  tutor  in  some  high  institute 
of  learning — it  doesn't  matter  where.  This 
sort  of  attendance  has  a  tendency  also  to 
induce  reciprocal  courtesy.  A  man,  be  he 
ever  so  dominating  and  exacting,  can't 
very  well  order  about  or  swear  at  a  youn 
gentleman  in  immaculate  dress  and 
faultless  bearing,  who  knows  more  about 
the  differential  calculus  than  the  guest 
does  of  the  multiplication  table,  and  Is  as 
familiar  with  Homer  and  Plato  In  the  orig- 
inal as  his  patron  is  with— well,  let  us  say 
L'Aasommoir,  or  The  Mysteries  of  Paris. 

This  same  Glen  House  is  a  favorite  sum- 
mer resort  of  people  from  the  eastern  states 
who  want  to  get  away  from  business 
thralls,  and  .loaf  after  a  comfortable 
fashion. 

JOSH   BILLINGS 

is  a  regular  summer  guest,  spending  his 
days  In  angling  for  trout  In  the  mountain 
brooks,  or  loun^!ng  about  the  hotel,  as  the 
fancy  takes  him,  telling  8tories,exchanging 
jokes,  and  flashing  repartee  after  his  owu 
droll  fashion.

The  day  we  ascended  to  the  sum- 
mit of  Mt.  Washington  was  warm

we  carried  with  us  entirely  super- 
fluous; but  thill  this  was  a  rare  occurrence 
was  clearly  to  be  neer,  by  the  iiniuense 
stoves  that  were  even  then  radiatinir  vol- 
ume.i  of  heat,  and  by  the  noiices  that  were 
posted  up  in  the  bedriH)m  corridors  fo  the 
effect  that  "(iuests  going  out  to  see  tne  sun 
rise  will  please  not  take  the  bed  blankets 
from  their  rooms.' 

The  scene  on  which  the  observer  looks 
fortli  ia  one  of  un|>aralleled  'grandeur.  Par 
as  the  eye  can  reach  arises  an  ocean  of 
mountain  peaks  on  whose  aides  and  sum- 
mils  re»t  sunlight  and  shadow,  clo<ids  and 
mists,  immense  fields  and  riivines,  down 
among  which  nestle  lakes  and  villagea.iind 
green  and  fertile  valleys  and  Howing  rivers 

The  ascent  np  the  winding  tortuous  mad 
aroi-nd  the  mountains  from  the  (Jlen 
Hoi  ie  to  the  summit  of  Mt.  Washington 
was  accomplished  slowly  and  laboriously. 
This  however  was  rather  an  advantage 
than  otherwise,  as  affording  much  oppor- 
tunity for  viewing  some  of  the  grundest 
scenery  on  the  continent — certainly  on  the 
eastern  half  of  it  It  is  impossi'ole  to 
describe  it  It  must  be  seen  to  be  known. 
One  thing  that  strikes  the  traveler  as 
something  remarkablo  is  the  uniform 
smoothness  and  solidity  of  this  mountain 
pass.  For  the  entire  distance  itia  a  smooth 
gravel  course  without  a  rut  or  a  hole.  A 
large  force  of  men  is  put  to  work  upon  the 
road  every  year  as  soon  as  the  spring 
freshets  are  over,  and  the  gravel  pits  all 
along  the  line  give  an  idea  of  the  nature 
and  extent  of  their  labor. 

Pedestrian  trips  up  the  mountain  do  not 
seem  to  be  in  general  favor,  the  rarity  of 
the  atmosphere  rendering  douoiy  oitHcult 
the  ascent.  Regretfully  we  turn  our  faces 
earthward  again, with  a  secretly-registered 
vows  to  "stay  longer  next  lime,''  and  re- 
sume our  journey.  At  Portland  we  have  a 
few  hours'  waiting,  which  most  of  iw  pass 
in  sweet  idleness  on  some  of  the  pleasure 
boats  which  dot  the  surface  of  the  bay 

TWO  DAYS  AT  THE  HUB. 

Boston  being  a  terra  incognita,  to  some 
of  us  at  least,  two  days  were  a  ridiculously 
short  time  to  devote  to  it  particularly 
when  one  of  those  days  was  Sunday  and 
nothing  but  churches  were  open  to  the 
public.  There  were  plenty  of  these  that 
were  worth  a  visit  if  one  could  have  gone 
to  half  a  dozen  simultiineously. 

TRINITY  CHURCH. 

Trinity  is  the  church  '.,hat  mostly  attracts 
strangers,  both  by  reason  of  its  architect- 
ural and  decorative  beauty,  and  the  celeb- 
rity of  its  rector.  Rev.  Phillip.s  Brooks, 
the  most  famous  preacher  in  the  episcopal 
denomination. 

BOSTON  COMMON. 

There  is  one  place  in  Boston  that  is  al- 
ways open,  and  that  is  a  godsend  to  the  poor 
and  the  stranger-  that  is  her  Common  and 
adjacent  Public  Garden.  The  latter,  in  ar- 
tistic design  and  skillful  culture,  probablv 
excels  anything  else  of  the  kind  in  this 
country.    A  number  of    finely  executed 


statues,  l)oth  in  bronze  and  marble,  adorn 
these  grounds  The  equeslrian  statue  of 
Washington,  by  Thomas  Ball  is  the  largest 
piece  of  its  kind  in  .\merica;  while  the 
Army  ami  Navy  monument  on  the  common 
is  said  to  be  the  finest  memorial  of  the  kind 
yet  erected  anvwhere. 

HARVABI>. 
Of  course  we  wt-nt  to  Cambridge.  Wo- 
body  (unless  he  is  nobody)  wl.'og(>e«  to  Bos- 
ton omits  to  go  toCambridge.  Most  of  the 
buildings  connected  with  llarvHrd  univer- 
sity are  closed  during  vacation,  but  we  ob- 
tained entrance  to  the  museums,  library, 
and  Memorial  hall,  a  noble  structure  mag- 
nificently furnished  interiorly.  The  college 
campus,  l.ke  the  buildings,  was  deserted 
save  by  an  occasional  straggler  like  our- 
selves and  a  solitary  post  graduate  who, 
under  the  shadow  of  the  classic  elms,  was 
I)Ouiing over— Thackeray's  Virginius.  He 
go(Kl-naiuredly  walked  with  us  through  the 
grounds,  pointing  out  and  explaining  dif- 
ferent points  of  Interest. 

LONOFKLLOW  8  HOMK. 

Out  from  the  classic  grouiuis  of  old  Har- 
VKrd,  past  the  hoary,  rugged  elm,  (preserved 
from  vandal  hands  by  a  stout  railing.)  be- 
neath whose  historic  branches  Washington 
took  command  of  the  American  army  104 
years  ago,  along  quiet,  shaded  streets,  we 
passed  uniil  we  found  ourselves  in  front  of 
the  unpretentious. 1)ut  comfortable  looking 
house  that  once  was  Washington's  head- 
quarters; now  is  Longfellow's  home.  The 
jfates  opening  both  on  the  lawn  in  front  of 
the  house  and  on  tl-.e  wide  avenue  on  the 
side  that  sloped  down  into  wooded  retreats 
stood  wide  open,  offering  hospitable  en- 
trance to  the  dusty  wayfarer. 

LEAVING  BOSTON. 

We  may  be  sorry  to  leave  Boston,  but 
we  are  glad  to  get  to  cooler  regions,  where 
the  saltsee  breezes  can  blow  fresh  and  pure 
upon  us,  uncontaminated  by  the  dust,  and 
smoke,  and  smells  and  unwholesome  ema- 
nations that  cling  to  a  city 

OLD  ORCHARD  BEACH. 

Old  Orc'iard  Beach,  on  the  coast  of 
Maine,  a  few  miles  from  Portland,  is  as 
pleiiSiint  a  summer  resort  as  one  could  de- 
sire. The  beach  itself,  a  long  semi-circular 
stretch  of  smooth,  hard  sand,  is  an  excel- 
lent promenade  and  bathing  site. 

SURF  BATHING. 

The  essential  feature  and  principal  pas- 
time of  these  sea-t  tach  resorts  seem  to  re- 
side in  the  surf-bathing,  which  occupies 
much  the  same  place  as  croquet  did, and  as 
lawn  tennis  and  archery  do  now  in  clothed 
society,  with  a  difference.  The  opportuni- 
ties for  flirtation  are  quite  as  favorable,  but 
the  temptation  ia  gone— that  is  if  grace  and 
beauty  and  decency  are  necessary  adjuncts 
of  the  old  fashion  of  love-making.  This 
promiscuous  frisking  and  floundering  and

A  TWO  WEBK8'  TRIP. 


the  world  would  blusli  to  aeti  on  dry  land 
may  he  perfectly  proper  and  delicate  in 
water  Ih  "one  of  those  things  which  no 
fellow  can  llnd  out." 

And  then  the  uglinesH  of  the  dress— or 
more  properly  speaking,  the  undress. 
ChlhlrHB  in  their  pretty,  dainty  l)athinj( 
suits  and  tlieli  fair,  rounded  limbs,  are  a 
pleasant  sight  to  look  on  tis  they  frolic  in  the 
Burf.  A  atralKht-liinbed,  clean  cut,  (grace- 
fully poised  young  athlete  is  paHsablo. 
But,  oh  I  the  women,  the  bare-letrged 
women,  in  their  coarse,  dun-colored,  ill  (it- 
ting  tunic  and  trowsers,  the  uncouth  oil 
silk  akull  cap  hiding  their  tresses— or  their 
want  of  tliem— the  washed  out  faces,  the 
mouths  and  eyes  wide  open  with  an  ex- 
pression ot  vacuity,  tlie  wet  garments 
clinging  like  cerements  to  lean  and  lank,  or 
puffing  and  waddling  forms.alike  t,he  scene 
18  odious.  One  is  tempted  to  believe  with 
the  cynic  that  clothes  are  nineteen-twen- 
tieths  of  every  woman. 

But  if  femininity  is  uncomely,  masculin- 
ity in  undress  is  monstrous— especially  the 
fat  man,  who  has  to  reef  in  folds  or  the 
adipose  tissue  to  make  the  buttons  meet. 
One  never  can  realize  till  he  sees  a  man  in 


ery  s  lieadquarters ;  tne  house  where  his 
dead  l>ody  lay  ;  Moatcal  n's  summer  rest- 
dence,  now  a  massive  ruin  ;  the  home  of 
the  Duke  of  Kent  ;  the  site  of  the  old 
French  walls  ;  the  citadel  of  Cape  Dia- 
mond, the  "Gibraltar  of  America;"  the 
joint  monument  erected  to  the  heroes  of 
that  fatal  September  t;<,  120  years  ago  ;  the 
Dutferin  terrace  and  other  improvements  : 
Kent  gate  ;  the  magniftcent  new  houses  of 
parliament  ;  the  memorable  plains  of 
Abraham  and  the  massive  monument  erect- 
ed to  Wolfe  on  the  apot  where  resting  in 
the  arms  of  an  oiflcer  and  hearing  the  cry 
"They  run  !  they  run  I"  he  asked  "  who 
run  r"  and  being  told  the  French  exclaim- 
ed "then  I  die  happy,"  and  immediately  ex- 
pired (  here  some  little  boys  appeared  on 
the  scene  and  sold  us  diamonds  ( ?)  at  a 
penny  apiece,  and  picked  for  us  for  noth- 
ing Home  blades  of  grass  and  clover  tops 
that  grew  over  the  remains  of  the  gallant 
Wo\te  );  Battlefield  cottage,  and  the  well- 
now  filled  up— out  of  which  a  cup  of  water 
was  drawn  to  moisten  the  parched  lips  of 
the  dying  hero  ;  the  pillar  and  statue  of 
Bellona,  presented  by  Prince  Napoleon  to 
commemorate  the  battle  between  Murray 


his  bathing  suit  how  much  that  man  owes  I  and  Levis  in  1760,  the  bloodiest  action  of 


his  tailor.'  As  Dr.  Beecher  used  to  say 
"  If  dress  doesn't  make  a  man,  a  man  after 
he  is  made  looks  a  deal  better  dressed  up." 
No  man  is  a  hero  to  his  valet,  and  no  man 
ever  after  is  a  hero  to  the  spectators  on  a 
beach  as  be  takes  to  the  water  in  his  con- 
ventional bathing  costume.  The  finest 
stroke  of  genius  Adam  ever  made,  if  he 
wanted  to  ingratiate  himself  w'^h  Eve, 
was  when  he  first  practiced  the  art  of  a 
tailor.  Two  days  at  Orchard  Beach  seem- 
ed short  enough,  but  time  and  trains  wait 
for  no  man  It  lias  been  a  brief,  delight- 
ful episode —a  dream  of  dolce  far  niente, 
in  a  busy  care-ridden  life.  We  inhale  one 
long  breath  of  the  invigorating  sea  air  and 
renew  our  journey. 

QUEBEC. 

Our  brief  visit  to  Quebec  was  made  un- 
der some  disadvantages.  A  drizzling  rain 
overtook  us  before  wf  reached  Point  Levi, 
and  showed  no  signs  of  abating  until  the 
day  was  half  over. 

This  quaint  old  city,  with  Its  narrow, 
perpendicular  streets  and  its  old-fashioned 
buildings,  is  bristling  witli  historic  associa- 
tions. Just  opposite  the  hotel  where  we 
were  lodged  stili  stands  the  low-browed 
house  in  whicii  the  treaty  of  peace  was 
signed  between  the  English  and  the  French 
after  the  final  defeat  of  the  latter  in  1759- 
now  degenerated  into  an  ignominous  bar- 
Der  shop.  In  our  drives  through  the  city 
almost  ev«ry  turn  brought  us  to  some  new 
point  of  note,  scarcely  less  interesting  in 
its  intrinsic  picturesqueness  than  from  its 
associations  Old  Castle  St.  Louis,  ono  of 
the  ey.rliest  edifices  erected  in  the  city,  and 
occupied  by  Montcalm  and  his  officers,  is 
now  converted  into  a  school— what  part  of 
it  remains  from  the  fire  of  1839.  Montgom- 


the  war— all  these  and  much  more  are 
pointed  out  to  the  stranger,  with  proper 
comment?  and  explanations  by  the  "intel- 
ligent calashe  driver. 

TH£  TILLAGE  OV     BEAUFORT. 

The  pleasantest  part  of  our  drive  was 
through  the  quaint  old  parish  or  village  of 
Beauport,  along  the  riverfslde  to  the  falls 
of  Montmorenci.  This  old  Fi.mch  settle- 
ment retains  th^  principal  features  of  the 
French  hamlet.  The  little  neatly-painted 
cottages,  insariabiy  with  curtained  win- 
dows, steep  or  shelving  roofs  and  long 
rows  of  dormer  windows,  are  inclosed  in 
bright  parterres  of  flowers  As  we  drove 
through  the  village  little  children  came  out 
from  the  yards  offering  us  bunches  of 
flowers.  These  dormer  windows  are  a 
peculiarity  shared  in  common  by  all  Quebec 
houses.  There  will  sometimes  be  two 
rows  of  dormer  windows,  but  no  house  is 
without  them.  Another  thing  that  strikes 
the  stranger  from  more  southern  latitudes 
as  strange  is  that  every  window  is  fitted 
with  double  sashes.  This  is  necessary  as 
a  protection  from  the  severe  winters,  when 
the  mercury  averages  a  depth  of  from  16 
to  26  degrees  below  zero,  frequently  falling 
as  low  as  minus  40  degrees. 

The  little  community  that  inhabits 
Beauport  is  an  industrious,  thriving  and 
strictly  temperate  people.  Nothing  in  the 
form  of  a  saloon  is  to  be  seen  in  the  vil- 
lage, and  it  is  said  not  a  drop  of  intoxica- 
ting liquor  ever  finds  its  way  among  them. 
In  the  middle  of  the  village  stands  a  "tem- 
perance monument"  and  shrine  where  the 
people  may  perform  their  devotions  when 
they  choose.  The  villagers  are  all  free- 
holders and  have  amassed  considerable 
property,  and  their  farms  extend  for  a  long

distance  to  the  front,  and  down  to  the 
water's  edge  In  the  rear.  These  are  won- 
derfully fertile  and  are  kept  in  a  high 
state  of  cultivation  Indeed  the  whole 
Tillage  locks  more  like  a  well-kept  garden 
than  farm  land.  They  adhere  in  tlie  main 
to  the  old  French  customs,  though  innova- 
tions In  dress  and  habits  are  gradually 
creeping  In.  They  betroth  and  m<trry  when 
mere  cnildren.  8uch  a  thing  as  an  old 
mala  or  old  bachelor  is  unknown  among 
them  When  a  young  man  marries  his 
father  builds  him  a  house  contiguous  to 
the  old  homestead,  and  gives  him  a  portion 
of  the  estate.  The  women  tend  tke  gar- 
dens, which  are  kept  beautifully  neat,  and 
the  men  till  the  farms'.  What  is  a  little 
curious  is  that  they  have  elected  us  mayor 
the  only  man  In  the  community  who  is  not 
a  Frenchman.  He  is  a  young  unmarried 
Irishman,  who  has  ample  means  and  a  good 
deal  of  native  talent,  and  has  won  the  con- 
fidence of  the  parish. 

MONTMORKNCI. 

The  Falls  of  Montmorenci  are  more 
picturesque  if  not  so  grand  as  the  Falls  of 
Niagara.  Some  years  ago  a  bridge  was 
thrown  across  the  /iver  at  this  ponit,  but 
the  severity  of  the  test  that  it  was  sub- 
jected to  strained  the  timbers  so  that  but 
shortly  after  it  fell  while  several  persons 
were  crossing.  Some  of  the  bodies  were 
never  recovered,  a  fact  that  seems  strange 
on  looking  into  the  small  phicid  stream  be- 
low; but  Immediately  below  the  fall  there 
is  said  to  be  a  fathomless  cauldron  down 
which  is  sucked  by  a  strong  eddy  whatever 
comes  within  its  current. 

THE  LORNBS  ..         ' 

At  the  Citadel  the  Marquis  of  Loriie  and 


the  Princess  Louise  were  staying,  resting 
after  their  long  and  arduous  lishing  erpe- 
dltion  on  the  Itestigouche.  But  they  were 
not  on  exhibition,  and  though  we  were 
escorted  ail  over  the  grounds  by  a  young 
Canadian  soldier,  and  even  permitted  to 
take  liberties  with  two  hjg,  brown  bears 
that  roam  over  the  grounds  at  their  own 
sweet  will  and  eat  from  the  soldiers'  hands 
and  fawn  about  them  like  dogs,  we  were 
Hedul'>usiy  kept  at  a  respectful  distance 
from  vice-royalty,  which  at  that  hour  was 
Just  eating  Its  breakfast,  as  we  could  see 
without  stretching  our  good  manners  too 
far. 

"How  does  the  princess  employ  her  time 
while  here'i*"  we  asked. 

'Oh!  mostly  in  riding  and  tramping 
about  and  sketching.  She  does  a  good  deal 
of  that.  .She  looks  and  acts  pretty  much 
like  other  women,"  be  said,  as  if  dimly  sus- 
pecting that  we  had  a  vague  idea  of  a  lion- 
ess sitting  on  a  golden  throne.  "Only  she 
Isn't  half  as  pretty  or  as  nicely  dressed  as 
some  women."  he  murmured;  and  just 
then,  doubtless,  the  picture  of  his  sweet- 
heart, with  red  cheeks  and  lips.und  banged 
hair  and  pink  ribbons  swept  across  nis 
vision,  for  he  grew  suddenly  taciturn  and 
seemed  to  forget  that  such  a  being  as  the 
P-incess  Louise  ever  existed.  But  this 
young  subaltern  was  no*;  so  loyal  as  a  man 
in  her  majesty's  uniform  should  have  been, 
for  he  didn't  hesitate  to  say  "ery  freely 
that  he'd  "like  to  see  Canada  annexed  to  the 
States,  so  that  we  could  get  a  little  life 
and  enterprise  worked  into  us,  and  get  a 
chance  to  make  something  of  ourselves," 


PREPARATION. 


lEFORE  leaving  home,  the  fol- 
lowing items  of  preparation 
shouln  all  be  completed. 
Ist— The  $20  excursion  ticket 
should  be  purchased;  nothing 
but  actual  necessity  should  permit 
any  one  to  postpone  this  till  the 
last  day  or  two.  The  purchase  of 
tickets  can  be  effected  as  safely  and 
with  far  less  trouble  by  mail  than  by  per- 
sonal application. 

2nd— Send  remittance  of  96-  to  secure  a 
sleeping-car  berth  without  change  from 
Detroit  to  the  White  Mountains.  State 
whether  you  are  going  on  the  1st,  2nd  or  3rd 
excursion. 

3d— Send  remittance  of  $5  for  the  White 
Mountains  coupon  ticket  which  will  suffice 


the 


for  all  desired  carriage  fare  while  at 
mountains.     (Seepage's.) 

4th— Sepd  two  unmounted  photographs 
for  extension  certificate— this  is  issued 
without  charge,  and  will  permit  the  holder 
to  remain  east  on  his  ticket  till  Sept.  3rd. 

.5th— If  you  are  living  on  a  raute  that 
offers  special  rates  to  connect,  make  ap- 
plication for  the  "special  rate"  certiticate, 
which  is  sent  free.  Applicant  should  state 
which  line. 

This  should  all  be  done  before  leaving 
home,  a  few  days  in  advance,  and  by  mail 
wherever  convenient.  Correspondence  can 
be  attended  to  in  hours  that  do  not  con- 
flict with  other  business,  and  is  the  prefer- 
red, though  by  no  means  the  neaeaaary 
method,  to  employ.

HOTELS  AND  BOARDING  HOUSES. 


HE  department  in  this  gulde-btwk 
devoted  to  a  description  o"  I'opu- 
lar    Summer   Resorts     contains 
full     alphabetically    arranged 
lists  of  hotels,  showing  the  num- 
ber of  guests,  price  per  day,  and  price 
per  week.      Where   no   quotation   is 
given,  it  is  because  the  hotel  did  not 
respond  to  letters  of  inquiry.    Many 
of  the  hotels,  in  replying,  gave  ii  sliding 
scale  of  rates,  depending  upon  tiie  room, 


and  in  such  cases  an  average  price  has  been 
selected  for  publication.  The  special  rates 
that  have  been  given  by  hotels  along  the 
excursion  route  to  members  of  the  excur- 
sions, were  conditional  that  they  should  not 
be  published,  but  supplied  only  by  private 
circular  on  the  excursion  trains.  It  would 
be  well  for  parties  to  correspond  with 
hotel  proprietors  and  engage  board  in  ad- 
vance whera  several  intend  to  stay  at  the 
same  place.

The  A.diroi]dat'kB,  New  York,  or  the 
"Wllderaessof  New  York"  as  it  is  called, 
is  a  fresh  bit  of  nature's  own  work,  about 
the  sizt  of  the  state  of  Connecticut,  sur- 
rounded by  a  countrv  of  advanced  civiliza- 
tion. Hunters  can  tind  plenty  of  wild  game 
among  the  mountains,  and  pleasure-seekers 
can  satisfy  themselves  among  the  villages 
which  dot  the  shores  ut  the  lakes  and  riv- 
ers and  sides  of  mountains.  Artists  could 
scarcely  find  better  material  for  their  can- 
vas. The  mountains  are  of  course  ^.le 
chief  attraction,  and  are  little  inferior  to 
the  White  Mountains.    There  are4«  named 

Eeaks,  tlie  highest,  Mt.  Afarcy,  (Tahawus) 
eing  5,402  feut  high.  Add  to  the  nioun 
tains  the  picturesque  accompaniment, of  08 
lakes  which  are  plentifully  interspersed 
wherever  there  is  a  place  for  one,  and  a 
suggestion  only  is  given  of  the  attractions

Ausable  Chasm  is  the  name  given  to  the 
the  deep  cut  in  thetAdiroudack  Mount(iin8 
through  which  the  Au8ul)le  river  tluws,  and 
which  extends  frof"  '**r..itiigham  Falls 
nearly  to  Keeseville  It  is  of  compara- 
tively recent  fame,, as  a  pleasure  resort, 
little  having  been  ,  known  of  it,  by  the 
public,  before  1.S70.  The  ri^er  is  narrow 
and  the  rocky  sides  so  high  and  straight; 
that  the  sun  can  scarcely  penetrate  to  the 
bottom  of  the  gorge.  Boats,  bridges,  stair- 
ways, and  galleries  have  been  provided  for 
the  convenience  of  travellers,  so  that  now 
its  wild  scenery  can  be  enjoyed  with  com- 
paratively slight  exertion. 

The  rocks  on  the  opposite  sides  of  the 
chasm  often  show  singular  correspondences, 
where  there  is  a  nrojecting  ridge  on  one 
side  there  will  be  a'similar  hollow  opposite, 
and  the  strange  forms  into  which  the  rocks 
have  been  shaped  by  the  forces  that  wrought 
them  have  given  them  such  names  as  the 
Devil's  Ovon,  Punchbowl,  Pulpit  and  Easy 
Chair,  Jacob's  Ladder,  Mystic  Gorge,  Cathe- 
dral Rocks,  etc.  The  G^rge  is  about  two 
milen  long  and  the  entire  length  can  be 
passed  with  the  aid  of  boats.

Boston,  Mass.,  is  the  metropolis  of  New 
Ensland  and  is  the  second  commercial  city 
of  the  United  States     The  older  portion  of 


Boston  covers  a  peninsula  formed  by  the 
Charles  Biver.  South  Bay  and  Bi>8ton  Har- 
bor, whil'  Kast  Boston,  South  Boston, 
Charlesto  n,  Cambridge  and  Roxbury  ad- 
join it  so  Closely  as  really  to  form  one  city. 
The  harbitr  is  the  beston  the  N'ew  England 
coast,  for,  besides  being  spacious  and  deep, 
it  is  sheltered  from  the  ocean  storms  by 
two  natural  breakwaters,  peninsulas  on  the 
north  ar\.d  south,  of  which  points  Alderton 
and  Shirley  form  the  extremities  This 
natural  advantage  was  ot.e  of  the  principal 
factors  in  securing  to  Boston  the  eminence 
of  her  position  in  the  history  of  this  coun- 
try's development,  as  the  oldest  commer- 
cial city  of  the  United  States.  The  ground 
upon  which  it  stands  is  quite  irregular,  the 
three  principal  hills  being  Beacon,  Breed's 
and  Bunker  the  last  named  giving  its  name 
to  the  celebrated  monument  which  marks 
the  site  of  the  battle  lought  between  the 
American  and  British  foices.  in  1775.  This 
stand.s  in  Charlestown,  and  from  its  top  a

Cwshing's  Island,  Maine,  is  ai  the  en- 
trance to  Portland  harbor,  and  as  it  lies 
across  the  mouth  of  the  bay  its  southern 
end  forms  one  she  re  of  the  ship  channel  by 
which  the  harbor  is  entered.  On  the  side 
towards  the  sea  the  island  is  very  rugged 
and  precipitous,  while  on  the  harbor  side 
the  land  slopes  gently  down  to  the  water. 
Upon  the  maps  of  the  U.  S.  Coast  Survey 
this  island  is  styled  bang's  Island.  There 
aie  several  good  beaches  on  Ihij  island, ,  iv-

the  shore  and  the  deep  sea  adjacent.  The 
end  opposite  the  entrance  to  the  harbor 
rises  into  a  bold  headland,  called  White 
Head,  which  presents  a  solid  wall  of  rock

inhabitants,  is  beautifully  situated  on  the 
Detroit  River,  18  miles  from  Lake  Erie  and 


7  miles  from  lake  St.  Clair.  Its  eventful 
history  and  rapid  derelopment  since  the

ist's study  and  iHspection. 

Up(m  its  discov  ry  by  white  men  the  site 
now  occupied  by  Detroit  was  the  location 

of    several

was  simply  a  square  stockade  with  block-

which  must  hav«  been  very  near  the  site  of 
the  front  of  the  present  Michigan  Exchange

which  now  stands  the  First  National  Bank,

Hampton  Beach,  N.  H..  is  one  of  the 
choicest  points  of  New  Hampshire's  20 
miles  of  seacoast,  and  nresents  all  the  ad- 
vantages to  be  desired  by  those  who  seek

stretch  of  white  sand  two  miles  long,  with 
a  few  patclies  of  smooth  rocks  that  are  cov- 
ered at  high  tide,  and  among  which  can  be 
found,  when  the  tide  is  out,  some  of  the 
coarser  varieties  of  salt  water  algae,  speci- 
mens of  star-fish,  sea-urchins,  etc ,  wh'^h 
are  often  prized  by  young  students  of  Nat- 
ural History  The  highest  point  on  this 
beach  i"*  a  rocky  promontory  66  feet  high, 
called  Boar's  head,  extending  so  far  Into  the 
sea  as  to  be  nearly  surrounded  by  water. 
From  this  point  the  ist  is  visible  from

■  TiiK    Hudson    Rivisr— The    pride    of 

J         Eastern  New  York,  has  loo  well  estaljlislied 
a  reputation  in  liistory,  sonK  and  romance 
to  need    introduction    here,  and  from  its 
source  among  the  Adirondacks  to  i>s  en- 
i         trance   to  the  sea,  its  scenes  are  full  of 
I         interest   and    beauty.      The    waters    and 
\         shores  are  as  beautiful  as  the  lihine.and  are 
even  preferred  by  some  wlio  have  seen  both, 
while  its  Kss-iciations,  though  not  reaching 
;         back  80  man^  centuries,  are  no  less  tragic 
'         and  entrancing.    The  river  varies  in  width 
f        and  its  shores  are  greatly  diversified,  being 
;         in  some  places  only  rounded  grassy  banks, 
;         in  others  bare  perpendicular  walls  of  rock, 
like  the  pallisadex,  whi'ein  its  upper  course 
and  in  the  vicinity  of  West  Point,  they  rise 
into  lofty  mountains  that  stand  with  their 
feet  in  the  blue  water     All  along  the  lower 
river  the  banks  are  dotted  with  the  pala- 
tial residences  of  the  wealthy,  surrounded 
by  the  parks  and  pleasure  grounds  belong- 
ing  to  them,  while  every  few  miles  the 
scene  is  varied  oy  the  sight  of  a  town  with 
\ia  busy  wharves  and  smoking  chimneys 
Neither  the  tourist    in  search  of  "sights," 
nor  the  more  leisurely  traveler  who  wan- 
ders for  rest  and    pleasure,  can  sail  down 
this  magnificent  rivet   without  feeling  the 
influence  of  the  great  lives  associated  with 
its  scenes;  scenes  once  familiar  as  the  day- 
light to  eyes  that  have  passed  beyond  the 
power  of  earthly  charms.    Washington  was 
often  here,  and  on  the  banks  of  the  Hudson 
lived  sweet  Mary  Philipse,  his  first  love. 
The  old  scone  mansion  that  was  her  home 
is  81  II  standing  at  Yonkers,  17  miles  above 
New   York,  wliere  it  was    built   in    1682. 
"Sunny side, '  the   pretty  cottage  that  was 
Irving's  home,  stands  close  to  the   river, 
near  the  village  of  Irvington,  but  it  is  so 
embowered  in  trees  and  the  thicl         :vth 
of  ivy  that  Irving  planted  from  slip   given 
him  by  Sir  Walter  Scott  at  Abbotsford,  that 
it  can  scarcely  be  seen  from  the  river.  The 
homes  of  many  other  authors  liave  been  on 
the  Hudson,  among  them  N.  P.  Willis,  the 
poet  Drake  and  Miss  Warner.    The  whole 
river  is  teeming  with  memories  of  the  Rev- 
olution, and  the  thoughtful  will  find  much 
of  interest  in  both  the  past  and  present  of 
this  noble  river.    "The    Hudson    River  by 
daylight,"  is  for  sale  by  Wm.  F.  Link,  Pier 
39  Vestry  street,  New  York  city.    Price 
60  cents.

TuK  Isles  of  Shoals.  N.  H..  are  a  group 
of  eight  rocky  and  picturesque  islands,  situ- 
ated ten  miles  from  the  main  land  of  New 
Hampshire  opposite  Portsmouth.  The  lit- 
tle steamer  "Appledore"  leaves  Portsmouth 
twice  each  day.  viz:  at  11  a.  m  and  6  p.  h., 
distance,  ten  miles:  round  trip  $1.00.  Ap- 
pledore is  the  name  of  the  largest  island  of 
the  group,  and  is  the  native  place  of  Mrs. 
Celia  Tnaxter,  the  authoress.  It  contains 
300  acres  of  land,  and  upon  it  is  situated 
the  Appledore  House.  Next  follows  Smutty 
Nose  or  Haley's  Island,  and  one-fourth  of  a 
mile  beyond  is  Star  Island,  upon  which  the 
elegant  Oceanic  Hotel  is  situated.  Then  on 
tliQ  west  is  rough  and  shapeless  Londoner's 
Island ;  and  two  miles  further  on  lies  Duck 
Island,  the  most  dangerous  of  all  to  navl- 
gHiion,  as  many  of  its  out-lying  rocts  have 
their  sharp  and  jagged  tops  entirely  con- 
cealed at  high  tide.  White  Island  contains 
a  noted  light-house,  and  is  considered  the 
most  beautiful  of  the  islands.  It  lies  a 
mile  southwest  from  Star  Island  '''o  the 
tourist  whose  object  is  to  benefit  by  sea  air

also  its  revolutionary  memories  una  assiv 
ciations,  and  is  as  pretty  a  little  town  as  one 
often  sees.  Lake  Champlain  is  long  and 
narrow,  tViOugh  not  as  narrow  as  Lake 
George,  and  is  like  that  lake  a  "thinj;  of 
beauty."  Like  that  also  there  are  moun- 
tains on  either  side  but  they  are  not  so 
near  the  water.  The  green  shores  and 
Hmooth  bays  have  proved  so  attractive  that 
cities  and  villages  lie  thickly  between  the 
water's  edge  and  the  foot  of  the  mountains 
on  either  side.  Lake  Champlain  was  one 
of  the  earliest,  if  not  the  first,  inland  water 
on  this  continent  navigated  t)y  Europeans. 
Within  thirty  years  from  the  landing  of 
Columbus  in  the  West  Indies  Jacques 
Cartier,  a  Frenchman,  had  discovered  the 
great  gulf  and  river  of  Canada,  but  it  was 
not  until  April  10th,  1609,  that  Samuel  d« 
Champlain  set  out  from  Quebec  in  his 
Chaloupe,  pasait^g  up  the  St.  Lawrence  and 
thence  up  the  Riciielieu  river,  arriving  at 
the  falls  of  Chambly  in  June.  With  the 
help  of  sixty  Indiau8,hi8  twenty-four  canoes 
were  carried  around  the  rapids  and  with 
them  he  set  out  from  the  foot  of  the  rapids, 
July  2nd.  On  the  morning  of  the  4th  of 
July,  he  entered  the  beautiful  water  which 
still  bears  his  name.

Lake  George,  N.  Y.  Almost  all  of  us 
who  have  grown  old  enough  to  enjoy  pleas- 
ure-travel once  learned  in  geographies  that 
"Lake  George  Is  noted  for  its  beautiful 
scnnery  and  the  clearness  of  its  waters." 
T)iH  gives  but  the  vaguest  idea  of  its 
real  beauty  and  grandeur,  not  a  cultivated 
beauty  like  the  scenery  of  the  Southern 
Hudson,  but  grand  and  wild.  In  some  re- 
mote age  giant  forces  tore  apart  the  moun- 
tains that,  standing  thus,  form  a  narrow 
gorge,  and  the  crystal  lake  lies  there  like  a 
glittering  jewel,  reflecting  with  exactness 
every  wrinkled  rock  and  green  tree.  There 
is  no  level  beach  along  the  greater  part  of 
the  lake,  the  mountains  rising  directly 
from  the  water,  but  here  and  there  along 
its  length,  a  little  plateau,  or  a  narrow  strip 
of  shore  overlooking  some  quiet  bay  or 
lovely  group  of  islands  has  been  occupied 
by  a  flae  summer  hotel,  whose  guests  flock 
to  the  landing  to  behold  the  one  event  of 
the  day,  the  passing  of  the  steamer.  The 
lake  is  38  miles  long  by  an  average  of  8 
miles  wide.  Fort  William  Henry  Hotel  is 
situated  near  the  old  site  of  Fort  William 
Henry,  at  Caldwell,  at  the  southern  end  of 
the  lake,  and  from  its  piazza,  nearly  300  feet 
long,  may  be  obtained  one  of  the  flnost  poa- 
sible  views  of  Lake  George

Lynn,  Mahs.,  is  only  eleven  miles  from 
Boaton,  and  is  almost  like  a  suburb  of  that 
city,  so  frequently  are  the  trains  passing 
back  and  furiti.  It  is  connected  with  Boston 
by  the  main  line  and  a  branch  of  the 
Eastern  It.  I,.,  and  by  a  narrow  gauge  road 
along  (he  b<  aoh  which  runs  trains  every 
hour  to  apu  from  East  Boston,  as  well  as  by 
a  line  or  norae-c*"^.  Every  one  knows  that 
Lyn'.'s  speciah.  is  the  manufacture  of 
shoes;  but  every  one  may  not  be  aware  that 
the  Lynn  beach  is  a  tine,  'jmooth  k)eHch,  de- 
lightful for  driving  at  low  tide,  and  safe  for 
bathing  as  the  slope  \i  gradual  and  there 
is  no  underlow .  Tho  shoe  trade  of  Lynn 
dates  back  to  1750,  when  it  was  established 
by  a  Welshman  named  Uagyr.  The  first 
iron  foundry  in  this  country  was  also  built 
in  Lynn,  and  the  tirst  article  cast,  an  iron 
dinner-pot,  is  still  preserved  in  the  city.  No 
visitor  to  Lynn  should  fail  to  ascend  High 
Hock,  which  rises  from  near  the  center  o' 
the  city  to  a  height  of  a  185  feet,  and  in  a 
clear  day  gives  one  a  fine  view  of  the  topog- 
raphy and  points  of  interest  in  the  vicinity. 
Aliiiost  In  front  is  the  rocky  promontory  of 
Nahant  connected  by  its  narrow  ridge  of 
rocks  and  sand,  just  wide  enough  for  a  road-

Bo<«ton  and  the  harbor  with  its  islands,  and 
Chelsea  a  litte  nearer  on  the  line  of  the 
coast  adjoining  li^nn;  on  the  north  lies  the 
beautiful  little  village  of  Swampscott,  be-

the  distance  the  Gloucester  shore  Looking 
away  from  the  sea,  Mounts  Wachusetts

vated lands  amply  pays  for  the  exertion  of

the  little  house  that  was  the  home  of  the 
famous  Moll  Pitcher  for  nearly  fifty  years,

Martha °s  Vineyard,  Mass  ,  is  an  island 
25  miles  long  by  twelve  wide,  and  lies 
about  hve  miles  off  the  main  land.  The 
island  constitutes  the  whole  ot  Duke's 
county,  Mass.  It  has  a  permanent  popu- 
lation of  about  4,600,  was  discovered  in 
1602  and  settled  in  1642;  was  an  important 
naval  station,  during  the  revolutionary 
war,  and  was  as  wholly  devoted  to  the 
fishery  interests  in  1840  as  in  1880  it  was  to 
camp-meetings  and  "summer-resorting." 
The  tirst  point  of  interest  on  the  island 
is  Oak  Bluff,  near  which  the  Methodist 
and  Baptist  camp-meetings  are  held  in 
August.  Six  miles  east  of  Oak  Bluff,  and 
connected  with  it  by  a  narrow  gauge  rail- 
road, is  Edgarton,  a  neat  village  where 
are  located  the  county  buildings  A  fine 
harbor,  a  light- house,  and  a  pier,  1,000  teet 
long,  are  among  the  attractions.  The  third 
point  worthy  of  visiting  is  Catama  Bay, 
next  beyond  Edgarton.  Besides  these 
tourists  should  visit  East  Chop  Light, 
Vineyard  Haven  and  Gayhead,  the  latter 
a  bluff  on  the  west  end  of  the  island.  Blue 
fish  are  caught  in  great  abundance  near  the 
island,  and  other  kinds  of  coast  fish  are 
found  among  the  reefs.  An  interesting 
illustrated  article  upon  Martha's  Vine- 
yard may  be  found  in  Harper's  Muuthly

Montreal,  in  the  province  of  Quebec, 
is  one  of  the  points  visited  by  the  excur- 
sion. It  takes  its  name  fri>m  the  mountain 
at  whose  base  ii  stands.  The  city  is  situat- 
ed on  an  island  of  the  same  naine,  at  the 
junction  of  the  dark  Ottawa  with  the  St. 
Lawrence,  and  its  re ilroad  communioition 
with  the  world  is  obtained  by  the  Victoria 
bridge,  the  bridge  at  .St.  Ann's  (both  belong- 
ing to  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway),  and  the 
bridges  to  the  northwest,  of  the  Montreal 
and  Occidental  railw.-ty  The  population 
is  estimated  at  180,000,  of  wliich  three-fifths 
are  French  Canadian,  and  the  remainder  ot 
English,  Irish  and  Scotch  descent.  It  is 
calculated  that  there  are  30,000  Irish  Cath- 
olics in  Montreal. 

The  massive  atone  docks,  extending  for 
mile  after  mile  along  the  riverfront,  from 
the  colossal  outlet  of  the  Lachine  Canal  to 
Hochelaga,  were  built  when  the  maritime 
importance  of  the  port  was  in  its  infancy : 
and  it  was  an  investment  which  has  repaid 
itself  many  thousands  of  times.  B<^fore 
the  revetment  wall  was  built  the  city  was 
exposed  yearly  to  inundation  on  the  break- 
up of  the  ice  in  the  spring;  the  wall  now 
forms  a  barrier,  while  the  dock  system,  as 
a  whole,  is  the  most  magnificent  on  the 
continent,  and  surpassed  by  but  two  or 
three  others  on  the  globe.  Whole  fleets  of 
ocean  steamships  arrive  discharge  and 
load  here  every  year,  as  do  sailing  vessels 
without  number.  Montreal  obtained  thitt 
great  commerce  by  the  energy  of  her  citi- 
zens, who  went  to  work  and  dug  a  channel 
through  the  flats  of  Lake  St  Peter.  Forty 
years  ago  it  was  adangerous  thing  for  ship's 
ot  300  tons  to  move  up  to  Montreal.  Now 
steamships  of  4.000  tons  steHin  up  and 
down  the  channel  almost  every  day  in  the 
week. 

The  site  of  Montreal  is  the  property  of 
the  Seminary  of  St.  Sulpice.    The  land  was 

f ranted  the  seminary  by  the  King  of 
'ranee,  and  not  a  foot  has  the  seminary  let 
fCo  except  upon  the  church's  own  terms— 
never  unfavorable  to  itself.  Outside  of  this 
the  church  owns,  it  is  estimated,  S12,000,000 
worth  of  property  within  the  corporate 
limits  of  Montreal.  The  church  of  Notre 
Dame  is  an  immense  structure  with  ac- 
commodations for  8,000  worshippers  easily, 
and  12,000  at  a  pinch.  It  was  commenced 
in  1824,  and  has  been  building  more  or  less 
ever  since,  for  it  is  not  yet  finished,  and  no 
one  know^a  when  it  will  be.  The  interior 
has  just  undergone  a  gorgeous  process  of 
painting  in  the  Byzantine  style  £very 
inch  of  the  edifice  has  been  hand  painted 
in  coimtless  designs,  at  immense  cost-  The 


decorations  of  the  church  are  superb,  mmI  a 
statue  of  the  Virgin  to  the  rifht  of  the 
KPHnd  altar,  will  well  reuiiy  inspection, 
v'astress  is  the  elMinicteristlc  of  this  fane 
in  every  reapeCt.  In  the  weatern  tower  is 
hung  the  hirgest  bell  on  the  continent,  the 
"Gros  Bourdon."  This  monster,  weighing 
over  ten  tons,  has  a  mouth  so  capacious 
that  80  men  might  stand  under  it,  and  it 
requires  the  strength  of  1(1  men  to  ring  it. 
The  Seminary  of  St.  Sulpice  adjoins  the 
Parish  Church.  On  its  front  is  a  (lueerold 
clock  which  rings  the  hours,  halves  and 
quarters.  The  old  gate  of  the  seminary 
still  remains  with  ihe  monogram  A.  M.  (Ave. 
Maria)  over  it,  but  the  glory  of  the  place 
has  departed,  so  far  as  the  work  or  the 
seminary  is  concerned,  to  the  "priest's 
f  arm,"  or  Monklands,  where  the  college  Is 
now  located.  The  land  was  too  valuable  to 
keep  for  college  purposes,  and  so  was  sold 
oft,  until  little  now  remains  but  the  church, 
the  presbytery,  and  the  semlnHry  gardens. 
In  Victoria  Siiuare,  a  very  handsome  p'.irk 
's  a  statue  of  (^leen  Victoria,  by  Marshall 
Wood,  for  which  the  city  paid  810,000. 
Victoria  Square  was,  in  1877,  the  scene  of 
the  Orange  riot. 

Victoria  Square  practically  divides  the 
business  part  of  Montreal  from  "Griffln- 
town,"  the  quarter  most  inhabited  by  the 
opponents  of  Orangeism.  To  the  left,  as 
we  cross  Craig  street,  we  find  the  superb 
building  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association.  The  Y.  M.  C.  A  of  Montreal 
is  the  parent  society  of  the  world,  having 
been  found&i  in  1651.  It  is  now  housed  in 
a  Gothic  building  which  cost  850,000.  Leav- 
ing the  hall  aiuipassiug  along  RHdegonde 
street,  we  arri  at  the  root  of  Beaver  Hall 
Hill,  so  called  ecause  the  Hudson  Bay 
Company  in  the  good,  old,  fur  trading  days, 
had  their  headquarters  here.  There  are 
Home,  however,  who  call  it  Piety  Hill,  from 
the  churches  marking  its  ascent  First  we 
have  Zion  church.  Congregational  then  the 
Church  of  the  Messiah,  Unitarian,  looking 
cou8idarably,  in  some  aspects,  like  the 
bartizan  of  a  medicevai  caslie.  Across  the 
street  is  the  First  Bnptist  church,  and  op- 
po.4ite  it  St.  Andrew's,  built  on  the  model 
of  Salisbury  Cathedral  As  we  move  along 
in  this  district  we  begin  to  understand 
why  Montreal  has  been  called  a  city  of 
churches,  for  one  is  met  at  almost  every 
step.  Thus,  as  you  go  along  Dorchester 
street,  after  you  pass  to  the  right  the  cost- 
ly palatial  quarters  of  the  St.  James'  Club, 
you  are  face  to  face  with  St.  Paul's  church 
(Presbyterian),  a  fine  specimen  of  the  dec- 
orated Gothic,  where  Rev.  John  Jenkins, 
father  of  the  celebrated  author  of  "Ginx's 
Baby,"  preaches  to  an  aristocratic  congre- 

fation.  In  a  vast  souare  contiguous  to  St. 
'aul's  is  in  process  of  erection  a  temple 
which  will  be,  when  completed,  one  of  the 
wonders  of  the  continent.  It  is  the  Cathedral 
of  St.  Peter,  and  is  being  built  on  the  model 
of  St.  Peter's  at  Rome,  but  one-fourth  the

bvterian    Theological    College    occupies  a 

fiicturerque  (xmitioi   upon  the  breast  of  the 
lill. 

The  drive  around  the  mountain  is  about 
nine  miles  long,  and  will  take  you  over  a 
gomi  deal  of  historic  ground.  It  will  take 
you  past  the  .Mount  lli)yal  Ometery,  one  of 
the  most  splendid  cities  of  the  deiut  in  the 
worlii,  and  the  Cote  <les  Xeiges  Cemetery, 
where  lie,  under  a  pompnuji  tnoiiiiuienl, 
the  lumes  of  those  whom  the  Uritish  gov- 
ernment found  necessHry  to  hang  after  the 
rebellion  of  1837.  These  cemeteries  lie  in 
gentle,  silent  valleys  between  the  moun- 
tains, where  there  is  never  sound  of 
human  strife. 

The  \'^ictoria  bridge  is  a  work  under- 
taken by  the  Grand  Trunk  Railway  c.tm- 
pany  of  Cana<la.  It  co.inects  I'oinle  St. 
Charles  with  the  southern  shore.  The 
bridge  is  00  feet  sliort  of  being  two  miles 
long.  It  is  atubular  bridge,  resting  upon 
24  piers,  so  built  as  to  resist  the  pressure  of 
ice,  the  center  pier  being  150  f-.^et  in  height 
to  permit  the  passage  of  steamers.  The 
cost  was  some  ^S.OOO.tHX),  and  the  ;.>««  of 
life  during  its  construction  was  consider- 
able. It  was  designed  by  the  great  Ste- 
phenson, and  carried  tu  a  completion  by  Sir 
Morton  Peto.  As  a  bridge  it  has  no  equal 
in  the  world.

Newport,  uliode  Island,  is  one  of  the 
most  nopiiUr  and  fashionable  pleasure  re- 
sorts in  the  IJnitedStates;  its  resources  for 
furnishing  entertainment  are  almost  end- 
less. It  has  several  excellent  beaches  and 
other  attractions  among  which  are  "Purga- 
tory," "Hanging  llocks,"  "ilelievue  Ave- 
nue," "Spoutii  Gave,"  "The  Glen, '  and  the 
'Dumplings  ^stantaneously  with  the 
sound  of  til  '  Newport  one  thinks  of 

a  crowd  of  ting  sights  such  as  Fort 

Adams,  the  largest  and  utrongest  fortress 
in  the  United  States:  Touro  Park,  in  which 
Is  "Old  Stone  Mill  "  the  Pei.'-y  Mansion,  oc- 
cupied by  Commodore  Perry  after  his  vic- 
tory on  Lake  Erie;  Jewish  Synagogue,  now 
closed;  Trinity  Church,  in  which  is  the  old 
organ,  still  used,  which  was  presented  by 
Bishop  Berkley;  the  First  Baptist  Church, 
whose  corner  stone  bears  the  date  1638— 
the  oldest  church  in  Rhode  Island.  Ex- 
cellent articles  describing  Newport  can  be

can  tourists,  to  dencrlhe  the  metropolis  of 
their  country,  even  were  it  possible  to  de- 
scribe so  large  u  city.  In  so  short  a  npace, 
SutUce  it  to  say  that  here  will  be  found 
miilf  rial  for  the  gratification  of  the  great- 
it  iMmsilile  variety  of  tastes;  tlie  lover  of 
th.^  c»eaniiful  in  art,  architecture  or  nature 
developedliy  the  highest  cultivation,  can 
find  as  niiuii  to  repay  a  vriltasthe  mer- 
chant or  HJiip owner,  who  will  delight  in 
the  solid  inlleNof  lirown  stone  or  marble 
fronts  of  busiiD-HS  houses,  or  tlie  lonit  rows 
uf  warehouses  on  the  docks  or  the  acres  of 
shiiipltig  In  the  harbor.  The  m<'cha!ilc  or

genial eiilt-rtainment,  wliile  those  devoted 
to  science,  edticatioii  or  plillaiilhro[ilc  pur- 
suits will  be  eciually  benelltted  or  enter- 
tained by  visits  to  their  various  museums 
and  InHtitutlonsof  benevolence  which  this 
large  and  enterprising ciiy  contains.  Any 
of  tliese  HpcciallHts  can  easily  lliid  what 
will  be  most  interesting  in  his  line  by  con- 
sultlng  any  of  the  city  directories  or  hotel 
guide  books  After  the  noise  and  rattle  of 
this  noisiest  of  cities  lias  been  borne  for  a 
time,  however,  almost  any  visitor  will  llnd 
a  trip  to  the  water  most  delightful,  and 
Coney  Island  and  Hockaway  Heacli  are 
e-ttily  accessible  by  several  lines  of  rail- 
way, each  rutining  trains  every  few  min- 
utes, and  all  leaving  stations  not  far  from 
the  ferry  docks  in 
Brooklyn,  as  also  by 
Ave  or  six  lines  of 
steamers.  ( Read  arti- 
cle in  Scribner's  Month- 
ly of  July,  1880). 

These  beaches  are 
provided  with  magnl- 
ticent  summer  hotels, 
restaurants,  pavilions, 
bath  houses,  observa- 
tories, walks,  drives, 
bands  of  music  and 
everything  the  mind 
can  conceive  of  in  llie 
way  of  recreation.  The 
value  placed  upon  these 
breathing  spots  by  tlie 
citizens  of  New  York 
is  sutficiently  attested 
by  the  crowds  who  go 
there,  In  such  numbers 
that  a  stranger  Is  led  to 
wonder  if  there  are 
any  people  left  to  visit 
other  watering  places, 
a;>d  to  feel  that  If  ther6 
were  nothing  else  to 
see,  it  would  pay  to  go, 
jiist  to  see  the  crowd.

OLD  OROHABD  BEACH. 


PIftE  POINT  BEAOH.

Rapids,  IM  mile"  below  the  F»'.i8.  Of  the 
Falls  themselves,  it  is  useless  to  attempt 
description.  There  are  no  words  in  the 
language  that  could  convey  to  the  mind  of 
one  who  had  never  seen  it,  any  adequate 
conception  of  the  grandeur  and  sublimity 
of  the  spectacle.  Niagara  must  be  aeen  to 
be  '•ealized.  It  is  everywhere  sidmitted  to 
be  the  most  magnificent  cataract  in  the 
world,  though  not  the  highe.it.  and  wlien 
one  stands  at  Prospect  Point  on  tht^  Ameri- 
can side,  or  near  the  Ilorse-shoe  Falls  on 
the  Canadian  side,  or  on  the  Suspension 
Bridge,  where  he  can  command  a  view  <■ " 
the  whole  scene,  he  will  feel  that  lie  u  i.i 
the  presence  of  a  mighty  force  beside  which 
human  power  is  nothing.  The  sound,  no 
less  than  the  sight,  of  so  ponderous  a 
weight  as  that  of  two  million  tons  of  water, 
pouring  over  a  sheer  descent  of  158  to  KU 
feet,  each  minute,  is  awe-inspiring  Of  the 
various  attractions  in  the  immediate  vicin- 
ity of  the  Falls,  much  might  be  said  here, 
if  so  much  had  not  already  been  said  in  all 
books  of  northern  travel.  Suffice  it  to  say, 
that  the  hotel  accommodations  are  ample, 
and  vary  in  prices  to  suit  all  purses;  that 
the  walks  and  drives  about  the  islands  are 
charming,  that  die  Burning  Spring  fed  by 
natural  gas,  is  a  remarkable  curiosity,  that 
the  drive  of  1^  miles  down  the  river  to 
Whirlpool  Rapids  is  enjoyable,  and  the 
Rapids  themselve.s  onlv  second  in  grandeur 
to  the  Falls,  that  the  ride  down  the  inclined 
railway  and  the  row  across  the  river  below 
the  Fails  is  an  experience  >;o  visitor  should 
fail  to  secure,  and  that  the  old  soldier  who 
describes  the  battle  of  Lundy's  Lane,  from 
the  observatory  on  the  spot-  was  a  real  par- 
ticipant in  the  fight,  and  no  humbug.

Plymoittii,  Mass.,  has  lately  acquired 
Bome  notoriety  as  a  sea  side  summer  re- 
Bort  No  visitor  to  the  "Hub"  should  neg- 
lect to  devote  to  it  at  least  a  day.  It  is  but 
about  one  hour's  ride  from  Boston  or  Ave 
hours  from  Portland.  Here  the  first  settle- 
ment was  mnde  in  Mew  England,  for  on  the 
22nd  of  December,  1(520,  the  Mayflower  (180 
tons)  viTith  its  101  Pilgrims,  cast  anciior  in 
its  harbor,  and  that  which  remains  of  Ply- 
mouth rock  (it  may  be  seen  by  visitors)  be- 
came the  veritable  threshhold  to  a  better 
civilization.  The  fighting  Miles  Standish 
and  the  preferred  John  Alden  lived  here, 
and  the  old  Standish  homestead  with  its 
relics  is  still 
preserved  and 
open  to  visitors.

metropolis  of  Maine.  It  was  settled  250 
years  ago,  and  though  it  was  twice  de- 
stroyed by  the  Indians,  and  nearly  de- 
stroyed again  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Rev- 
olution, and  had  one-half  of  its  business 
part  laid  in  ashes  by  the  great  tire  of  1806, 
It  is  now  a  city  of  36,000  inhabitants,  and 
bears  a  settled  air  of  thrift  and  prosperity. 
The  city  stands  on  a  high  peninsula,  the 
highest  ridge  of  which  runs  through  the 
center,  making  the  drainage  excellent;  and 
as  it  gets  the  pure  sea  air  at  all  times,  its 
reputation  for  healthfulness  is  well  found- 
ed. On  a  prominent  corner  at  the  eastern 
end  of  the  city  stands  an  observatory, 
which  the  tourist  will  do  well  to  ascend, 
and  from  it  obtain,  with  the  aid  of  a  small 
telescope  kept  there,  a  broad  view  of  the 
ocean  out  over  Casco  bay  with  its  120

name  of  the  French,  liy  .Jiuques  Cartier. 
Quebec  remained  the  seat  of  French  power 
ill  America  until  the  defeat  of  Montcalm  in 
1759.  The  citadel,  one  of  the  most  impreg-

ontory of  Cape  Diamond,  which  is  an

cify,  and  gives  it  the  name,  "Gibraltar  of

three-quarters  of  a  mile  up  the  river,  on  the 
Plains  of  Abraham  are  two  Martello  Tow-

ages very  skillfully,  going  at  a  great  rate 
through  the  narrow,  crooked  streets  with- 
out once  getting  caught  among  the  numer- 
ous other  vehicles  as  you  would  think  he 
must.  You  pass  throueh  a  part  of  the 
Lower  Town,  which  is  the  newer  portion 
of  Quebec,  to  the  sp'turb  called  St.  Roche. 
When  you  ride  through  this  prosperous 
manuracturing  and  roercantlle  part  of  the 
place,  remember  that  340  years  ago  it  was 
the  Indian  village  of  Stadacona,  and  here 
in  1.535,  its  chief,  Donnacona,  was  taken 
from  his  people  and  carried  by  .Jacques 
Cartier  across  the  ocean  as  a  gift  to  Fran- 
cis I.,  King  of  France.  Soon  after  leaving 
Roche's  Ward,  as  it  Is  called,  you  (urn  into 
the  macadamized  road  to  Beauport,  first 
crossing  Dorchester  Bridge,  over  the  St. 
Charles.  Beauport  is  a  single  street  run- 
ning parallel  with  the  St.  Lawrence  for  five 
miles,  and  far  above  it.  It  is  a  village  of 
long  narrow  farms,  those  on  tlie  south  side 
oi  the  street,  running  to  the  river,  while 
those  on  the  opposite  side  stretch  away  to 
the  north.  The  liousesare  one  story  high, 
nearly  all  while, and  stand  with  ont'corner 
lo  the  street,  so  as  Inbreak  the  force  of  the 
tierce  winds  that  sweej;  up  the  river  in  the 
winter.  It  Is  the  simplest  of  villages. 
There  are  no  stores,  no  manufactories,— 
noiliintr  but  the  little  homes  8ur:ounded  by 
their  neat  gardens,  tilled  with  lirave,  old- 
fashioned  flowers,  and  vigorous  vegetables. 
On  tlie  load  through  Beauport  a  Uiie  view 
can  be  had  of  the  Island  of  Orleans,  which 
is  li)  miles  long.  It  is  a  beautiful  island, 
with  its  dark  green  woods,  fine  farms  and 
little  white  villaget.  After  passing 
through  the  vilhige  of  Beauport,  your  car- 
riage leaves  the  main  road  and  you  pass 
partly  around  the  estate  which,  in  179i 
was  tnp  home  of  the  Duke  of  Kent.  Queen 
Victoria's  father.    You  can  visit  his  room.

THK  llAPIDS  OF  THE  8t.    LAWRENCE,— 

seven  in  number,  and  lying,  with  one  ex- 
ception, within  the  boundaries  of  the  Prov- 
ince of  Ontario,  form  a  remarkable  series 
of  obstructions  to  the  navigation  of  what 
would  otherwise  be  the    great 
waterway  to  the   heart  of  our 
continent.    Taking  the  steamer 
at  Kingston,  at  6  a.  m.,  the  first, 
or  Galop  rapid,    is   reached   at 
about  11  A.  H.    This  is  the  least 
of  the  rapids  and  offers  but  little 
attraction.  The  lemaining  rapids 
are    scattered   at    unequal  dis- 
tances  between  this  point  and 
Montreal.    The  last  one,  the  La- 
chine,  being   but    seven    miles 
above  that  city.    In  theL*  order 
they    are    named    as    follows: 
Giilop  Ilapids,Long  Sault  Rapids, 
Coteau    Raoids,   Cedar    Rapids, 
Split  Rock  tlapids.  Cascade  Ra- 
pids, Lachine  Rapids.  The  Long 
Sault  Rapids  are  almost  continu- 
ous for  a  distance  of  nine  miles, 
and  have  an  average  velocity  of 
twenty  miles  an    hour.    An  is- 
land in  the   middle   divides  the 
rushing  waters  into  two  channels 
—the  American  channel  and  the 
"lost"  (Canadian)  channel,  a  name  given  to 
it  bv  the  French  boatmen,as  they  supposed 
that  if  a  boat  drifted  Into  it,it  would  be  cer- 
tainly lost.  Formerly  the  American  or  East 
Channel  was  mostly  run  bjr  steamers,  but 
of  late  the  Lost  Channel  is  mostly  used. 
This  char  nel  presents  a  grand  appearance, 
the  wa    f  being  lashed  into  a  white  foam 
for  SB\   ral  miles.    The  passage   on   the 
southern  channel  is  very  narrow,  and  such 
is  the  velocity  of  the  current  that  a  raft,  it 
is  said,  will  drift  the  nine  miles  in  forty 
minutes.    When  a  stanmer  enters  within 
their  influence,  the  steam  is  partly  shut  off 
and  the  engine  slowed  down  to  enable  the 
pilot  to  keep  her  in  the  proper  course, 
which  is  here  very  narrow.    Great  nerve, 
strength  and  skill  ai-e  necessary   to  pilot 
the  vessel,  several  men  are  required  at  the 
wheel,  and  a  tiller  is  attached  to  the  rudder 
itself,  so  that  the  tiller  can  be  manned  as 
well  as  the  whee'..    The  first  passage  of  a 
I  steamer  down  these  rapids   was  in  1840. 
The  Coteau  Rapids  are  just  below  Coteau 
du  Lac,  fifty  miles  above  Montreal,  and  ex- 
tend two  miles.    Cedar  Rapids  begin  seven 
miles  below  Coteau  Rapids  and  near  the

exhilarating.  Steamers  have 
passed  through  the  rapids 
every  day  of  every  summer 
for  many  years,  and  no  lives 
have  been  lost.  The  excur- 
sion takes  all  the  rapids  in, 
going  east.  "Shooting  the 
rapids"  is  one  of  the  chief 
attractions  of  the  trip,  and 
of  itself  is  an  "event  of  a  life-

village  of  Cedars.  The  passage  through 
these  rapids  is  very  exciting.  There  is  a 
peculiar  motion  to  the  vessel,  which,  in  de- 
scending, seems  like  settling  down,  as  she 
glides  from  one  ledge  to  another. 

Split  Rock  Rapids  immediately  follow, 
in  fact  thoy  are  a  continuation  of  the  Cedar 
Rapids.  In  passing  the  rapids  of  the  Split 
Rock,  a  person  unacquainted  with  the  nav- 
igation of  these  rapids  will  almost  involun- 
tarily hold  his  breath  until  this  ledge  of 
rocks,  which  is  distinctly,  seen  from  the 
deck  of  the  steamer,  is  passed  The  rocks 
do  not  rise  above  the  water,  and  a  passage 
of  200  feet  wide  has  been  opened  for  the 
passage  of  steamers,  by  blanting.  Cascade 
Rapids,  which  are  entered  soon  after  the 
passage  of  the  former,  terminate  at  the 
head  of  Lake  St.  L'>ui3,  where  the  dark 
waters  of  the  Ottawa,  by  one  of  its  mouths, 
join  the  St  Lawrence.  These  last  three 
rapids,  in  eleven  miles,  have  a  descent  of 
82%  feet.  Lachine  Rapids  are  the  last  and 
most  dangerous  on  the  river,  although  the 
shortest,  and  are  in  sight  of  the  city  of 
Montreal.  Before  entering  these  rapids, 
the  passengers  are  requested  to  sit  or  stand 
still  in  their  places.  The  pilot  and  two  as- 
sistants man  the  wheel  and  four  men  as- 
si.st  in  the  steamer's  stern,  by  handling 
the  tiller.  The  steam  is  shut  off,  and.  as 
the  steamer  enters  the  rapids,  nothing  is 
heard  but  the  sound  of  the  waves  as  they 
dash  themselvesinto  a  foam  over  the  rocks. 
A  ledge  of  rocks  stretches  across  a  portion 
of  the  channel  and  for  this,  the  steamer  is 
directly  steered.  Wlien  within  a  few  yards 
of  Certain  destruction,  the  whrel  is  rapidly 
turned,  and  the  boat,  which  an  instant  be- 
fore, seemed  about  to  be  dashed  to  pieces, 
glides  gracefully  past  the  reef  amid  the  ap-

on  the  west  side  of  the  inlet  called  Salem 
Harbor,  which  separates  Marblehead  pen- 
insula from  tl>^  main  land,  and  is  a  city  of 
about  27,000  inhabitants  Tlie  harbor  af-

charming,  and  its  nearness  to  Marblehead, 
Swampscott  and  Xahaut  on  the  south,  and 
Beverly  and  Mmichester  on  the  north 
makes  it  a  desirable  place  for  a  summer's 
headquarters.  Many  historical  memories 
gather  about  its  old  streets  and  buildings, 
and  many  illustrious  names  are  found  upon 
the  pages  of  its  annals.  The  most  remark- 
able event  of  history  located  ht-re  is  the  ex- 
traordin;iry  witchcraft  delusion  of  1692,  by 
reason  of  whicli  some  20  persons  were  tried 
and  executed,  niosit  of  them  by  hanging, 
on  a  rise  of  ground  in  the  western  part  of 
the  city,  which  is  now  called  Gallow's 
Hill,  or'VVitches'  Hill.  In  the  Court  house 
some  of  the  documents  relating  to  these 
strange  trials  are  still  preserved.  The  old 
bouse  of  Roger  Williams,  where  some  of 
the  examinations  were  made,  still  stands 
at  the  corner  of  North  and  Essex  streets. 
The  places  of  interest  to  be  visited  are  the

Swampscott.  Mass..  is  the  most  fashion- 
able and  fretiuented  of  the  watering-places 
in  the  vicinity  of  Boston,  and  is  12  miles 
north  of  that  city.  The  seaside  guide  books 
all  say  "Swampscott  is  to  Boston  what 
Long  Branch  ia  to  New  York; '  and  it  is 
true  that  here  one  tindb  a  larger  represent- 
ation of  Boston  fashionable  society  than  »t 
any  other  beach.  It  possesses  several  ad- 
vantages over  some  of  the  other  resorts. 
It  is  only  one  mile  from  Lynn,  and  can  be 
reached  by  tlie  street  car  lines  or  by  the 
Eastern  R.  R.  It  has  three  beautiful 
beaches  of  different  length,  which  are 
washed  by  the  pure  ocean  water,  and  the 
surf-bathing  is  capital,  as  there  is  no  un- 
dertow, and  many  pronounce  the  waters 
warmer  than  at  other  places;  and  this  may 
be  true,  for  the  beaches  front  the  south, 
and  the  sun  shining  on  the  sands  warms 
the  water,  so  that  towards  evening  it  is 
delightful.  The  view  oceanward  is  beauti- 
ful. Directly  opposite,  across  the  little 
bay,  is  roc^y  Nahant,  connected  by  its 
/  ,  white  ridge  of  sand  on  the  right  to  the 
Lynn  Beach,  between  lies  the  bare  island 
called  Egg  Rock,  with  its  light  80  feet 
above  the  water,  while  off  to  the  left  is  the 
clear  broad  ocean  with  nothing  to  break 
the  vi.w.  The  peculiar  fcrm  ol  the  beach 
here  gives  the  surf  the  power  to  pound  the 
fine  sand  into  a  perfectly  smooth  road,  and 
so  hard  that  carriage  wheels  sci(rcely  make 
an  impression  on  it.  There  is  a  beautiful 
avenue,  60  feet  wide  and  10  miles  long, 
from  Swampscott  to  Marblehead,  in  some 
places  running  along  the  water's  edge,  and 
In  others,  through  woods  back  frum  the 
shore,  or  on  the  top  of  the  rocky  bluffs  that 
form  a  part  of  the  shore.

TiiK  TliousANo  IsLANUs.— The  most  re- 
mmkable  collection  of  river  islands  in  the 
world  is  the  archipelago  in  the  upper  St. 
Lawrence,  knov\  n  by  the  above  name.  Re- 
markable Uiinga  are  not  olten  underrated 
In  the  (leacriptiona  men  give  them,  hut  in 
naming  tlii.s  wonderful  gift  of  nature  some 
one  has  bi-en  guilty  of  mlsreoresenliition, 
for  instead  of  1,()<X)  there  are  nearly  1,700 
ialanila.  The  group  begins  about  opposite 
Cape  Vincent,  N.  V.,  at  the  outlet  of  Lake 
Ontario,  and  extemia  for  40  miles  dovn  t'le 
Wl.  Lawrence,  and  presents  to  view  every- 
thing conceivable  in  the  way  ot  an  island, 
from  a  bare  rock  a  yard  acrosp,  to  an  island 
covering  many  acres,  some  lieavily  wood- 
ed, some  covered  only  with  grass,  some 
cultivated  as  farms,  some  containing  only 
a  beautiful  summer  residence  with  its  sur- 
rounding pleasure  grounds,  and  others  fit- 
ted up  with  rustic  seats  and  tables  for 
i  pleasure  pa '.ties.  Some  of  these  islands 
are  hilly,  while  others  scarcely  rise  above 
the  water's  surface,  and  viewed  from  the 
deck  of  a  steamer  winding  its  way  among 
tliem,  make  an  impression  upon  the  mind 
that  memory  will  teljaciously  cling  to.  Of 
course  these  Iocaiities,are  the  very  paradise 
of  sportsmen,  enpeciallv  those  who  enjoy 
fishing,  and  every  facility  for  these  pur- 
suits, aa  well  as  for  boating,  and  other 
watering  place  recreations,  is  furnished  by 
the  summer  hotels  among  the  islands. 
This  lovely  view  is  one  of  the  attractions 
of  the   Jivening   Kewa'    excursion.

an  arcli'!  island  in  the  ton  pe rate  zoi.e,  hav- 
ing the  same  climate  as  <ireeiiland  at  7U°

terest in  this  mountain  is  enhanced 
by  knowing  that  the  highest  geolog 
ical  authorities  place  it  among  the 
very  earliest  formal itins  uf  the 
earth's  surface.  Isaac  Hill  says.  "Mt. 
Washington  had  been  thuusands  ot 
years  in  exisLence  before  the  inter- 
nal tlrea  upheaved  the  Ips."  The 
grooves  and  scratches  on  <tll  but  the 
south  side  show  t.  course  of  the 
ice-bearing  ocean  f  the  glacial 
epoch  These  marks  are  found  to 
within  1,100  feet  of  the  suran.it, 
hence  the  surrounding  valleys  must 
have  been  filled  with  ice  a  mile 
thick,  which,  slowly  moving  south, 
finally  submitted  to  a  southern  sun. 
The  flora  of  Mt.  W<t.shington  is 
identical  with  that  of  the  arctic 
regions.  He  wli-i  ascends  to  this

Where  can  I  find  a  nice  bathing  suit? 

L.  A.  Smith  &  Co.,  105  WocJ.ward 
avenue,  keep  them  constantly  on  hand 
and  manufacture  them  to  order.  We 
advise  you  to  correspond  with  this  firm. 

^■^~^^^^^-  -      How  about  outside  wraps  ? 

The  same  firm  makes  a  speciality  of 
ladies'  made  up  garments.  You  can  pro- 
cure of  them  a  complete  outfit.  We 
noticed  pretty  hair  check  jackets  as  low 
as  1^2. 50;  all  linen  ulsters  beginning  at  $1.25;  stacks  of  Shetland 
and  wool  shawls,  dresses^  silk  and  cloth  summer  garments 

Would  you  advise  us  to  procure  our  gloves,  hosiery,  merino  un- 
derwear &c.,  of  Messrs.  L.  A.  Smith  &  Co.? 

Most  decidedly,  from  the  fact  that  they  import  la.gely,  conse- 
quently they  stand  alone  as  distributers  between  the  manufacturer  in 
Europe  and  the  consumer  in  Michigan. 


Did  you  notice  their  line  of  dress  goods? 

Yes,  we  gave  this  our  especial  attention  and  were  surprised  to 
find  that  they  sell  grey  all  wool  filling  dress  goods  for  15c.,  wash 
alpacas  for  25c.,  all  wool  dress  goods  in  a  great  variety  of  colors  for 
for  25c.,  double  width  npn  veilingfor  50c.  and  were  assured  by 
Messrs.  L.  A.  Smith  &  Co.  that  silks  brocades,  and  ca.shmeres  were 
never  sold  as  low  as  now. 


k- 


W^hy  do  you  especially  recommend  the  dry  goods  house  of  L.  A. 
Smith  &  Co.,  105  Woodward  avenne  ? 

Because  their  stock  is  always  full  and  complete   their  sales  large 
and  their  expense  for  doing  their  business  relatively  small.

The  Grand  Trunk  R.  R.,  lying  princi- 
pally in  Canada,  has  branch  termini  at 
Chicago,  Detroit,Goderich,  Buffalo,  Colling- 
wood,  Ottawa,  Rouse's  Point,  Three  Rivers, 
Quebec,  Riviere  dn  Loup,  and  the  seashore 
at  Portland,  Maine.  The  distances  from 
IJetroit,  given  above,  convey  only  a  partial 
idea  of  ttie  real  magnitude  of  this  railway 
system.  It  has  over  l,7(iO  miles  of  track,  of 
which  ),053  are  laid  with  steel  rails  and 
kept  in  superb  condition  by  an  army  of  em- 
ployes. Trains  are  run  by  telegraph  and 
no  safeguard  is  omitted  that  can  secure 
safety.  The  /ast  amount  of  money  em- 
ployed in  the  construction  and  mainte- 
nance of  this  line  may  be  inferred  from  a 
single  item  of  expenditure,  i.  e.,  that  of  the 
Victoria  Bridge  across  the  St  Lawrence 
river  at  Montreal,  which  cost  nearly  88,- 
OOO.fXX)  in  gold.  The  stock  of  the  road  is 
owned  and  controlled  in  England,  but  the 
general  offices  are  at  Montreal.  Joseph 
Ilickson  is  General  Manager,  and  Wm. 
Wainright  is  Assistant  General  Manager, 
attending  also  to  the  duties  of  the  General 
Passenser  Agent.  Pullman  palace  cars  are 
used  on  this  road,  with  T.  H.  Clarke  at 
Montreal  as  department  superintendent. 
The  interests  of  the  road  at  Detroit  are 
capably  served  by  Division  Superintendent 
J.  A-  Moore  and  Local  Agent  E.J.  Pierce, 
at  the  Detroit  uptown  office,  156  Jefferson 
avenue,  and  by  Station  Agent  J.  R.  Wood 
at  the  depot.  For  summer  pleasure  travel 
this  road  is  unexcelled,  for  it  should  be  re- 
membered that  much  of  this  rou>  is  as  f»r 
north  as  Lake  Superior,  and  equally  as  cool 
for  summer  travel. 

THE  GR^ND  TRUNK  R.  R.   Is   the  most   NortlKni 

fileasure  route  to  the  White  Mountaiasand  Sua  Shv-rs. 
t  has  now  all  steel  rails,  store  and  iron   bridges   and 
culverts,  making  it  as  perfect  as  anv  English  railway 


Trains  can    run.  If  necessary, 
this  line  with  perfect  safety.
